GOD'S TIMING!

GOD’S TIMING!

Beloved congregation, today we gather to reflect on a profound spiritual principle: the timing of God. This concept, so crucial to our faith journey, is often overlooked in our quest for immediate answers and swift resolutions.

God's timing is perfect, yet it often differs vastly from our own. We live in a world that prizes speed and efficiency, where waiting is seen as lost time. However, in the divine realm, timing is not just about the ticking of a clock; it's about the alignment of circumstances, the preparation of hearts, and the unfolding of a greater plan that we may not yet understand.

The scripture teaches us to "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding" (Proverbs 3:5). This trust involves believing that God's timing is impeccable, even when it conflicts with our personal agendas. We are called to be patient, to resist the urge to hurry, and to avoid the temptation to force doors open that are meant to stay closed for a season.

Patience is a fruit of the Spirit, and it is cultivated in times of waiting. As we wait on God, we learn to trust Him more deeply, to surrender our plans, and to believe that what He has in store for us is worth any delay. Remember, a delay is not a denial. It is an invitation to grow in faith and to deepen our reliance on God.

In our impatience, we may be tempted to take matters into our own hands, to try to make things happen through our strength. However, our efforts are often futile when they are not aligned with God's plan. It is when we let go and let God work that we truly see His power and grace in action.

Let us learn to embrace God's timing, understanding that He knows what we need and when we need it. His timing is not just about the fulfillment of our desires but about the perfection of our souls. In His timing, every piece falls into place, every lesson is learned, and every blessing is received in its fullness.

As we go forth this week, I encourage you to trust in God's timing. Do not be in a hurry; do not grow impatient. Let God do it His way. For in His timing, everything is beautiful, everything is perfect, and everything is just as it should be.

Amen.
