SUBJECT : WAIT FOR GOD'S  TIME!

Memory verse: "But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law" (Galatians 4 vs 4).

READ : Ecclesiastes 3 vs 1 - 8: 

3:1: To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

3:2: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3:3: A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

3:4: A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

3:5: A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

3:6: A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

3:7: A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

3:8: A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.              

INTIMATION:

God has a plan for all people. Thus, He provides cycles of life each with its work for us to do. Although we may face many problems that seem to contradict God’s plan, these should not be barriers to believing in Him, but rather opportunities to discover that, without God, life’s problems have no lasting solutions.

God knows everything about us from the foundation of the earth, and even saw our substance being yet unformed. God created all things, and planned all things according to His purpose, and timing; "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven" (Ecclesiastes 3 vs 1). And at the fullness of time He will cause things to happen according to His predetermined purposes.

In the passage we read today, the verses express a divine order of things into which one must plug his or her life in order to enjoy the contentment that comes from knowing that God has all things under control. There are symbolic meanings to the statements that lead us to understand the sovereignty of God over an environment wherein humans are allowed freedom of will to exist. 

God is 'All-Knowing.' He already knows everything about us, even to the number of hairs on our heads (Matthew 10 vs 30). He knows the thoughts of our hearts, even when they are evil, and yet He accepts and loves us. God is with us through every situation, in every trial, protecting, loving, guiding (Psalm 46 vs 1; 59 vs 16), and has promised He would never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13 vs 5), and will be with us always, even up to the end of age (Matthew 28 vs 20). He knows and loves us completely.

God is omnipresent—He is present everywhere. Because this is so, you can never escape from His Spirit. This is good news to those who know and love Him; for  believers whom the Spirit dwell in, because no matter what we do or where we go, we can never be far from His comforting presence. 

The end is already known to God from the beginning (Isaiah 46 vs10). For this reason, He is always on time, because He planned the time, and does His bidding at the fullness of the planned time, in accordance with His plans and knowledge of us. His timing is perfect. He knows us better than we know ourselves, and He knows us perfectly. We may sometimes wonder if God will ever respond to our prayers. But we must never doubt Him or give up hope. At the right time He will respond. Trust His judgement and trust that He has your best interests in mind (Jeremiah 29 vs 11).

The secret to peace with God is to discover, accept, and appreciate God’s perfect timing. The danger is to doubt or resent God’s timing. This can lead to despair, rebellion, or moving ahead without His advice. 

Prayer: Abba Father, Your timing is perfect, and Your wisdom and knowledge are unsearchable, and your ways past finding out! Let it be to me according to Your thought, plan, purpose, and timing, to bring me to the expected end, in Jesus Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!
