The Timing of God!




At this time many of your own people will try to make this vision come true by rebelling against the king of the south, but their rebellion will fail.

Daniel 11: 14

When God says a thing will happen, you can be sure it will!  But the temptation of man is to use his own power or cunning to make the thing a reality before God’s perfect timing.  That is the truth behind many failures of Christians.  We see a thing that needs to occur and we even see in the Bible that it is according to God’s will and so we set our hearts, minds and human strength to make it so!  But then we fail!

Often what we miss is not the will of God, but rather His timing!  There is a time for everything under Heaven and there is a time for every thought of God to be seen among men as it becomes reality!  

The Cross of Christ was certainly the plan of God, but it had to occur when the time was right!  We even read in the Bible that at least one time Jesus slipped away from those who wanted to kill Him because it was not the right time.

So as you measure your steps today in following Jesus be sure and ask if the thing you are pursuing is the will of God, but also ask if it is time for it to happen!  If it is time, you will find even the most difficult task to be easy or if it is not God's time the simplest thing will be impossible!

When Jesus says “come” even you can walk on water!


“Lord Jesus, help me to see Your will today and when You want me to do it!  Praise Your Holy Name, now and forever.  Amen.”
