The Time Test



 

Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.
Psalm 27:14
 
 
Cross references:
 
You’ve probably seen the plaque or read the bumper sticker:
“Lord I need patience; and I need it NOW!”
I can actually hear the resounding “Been there, done that” response over the internet.
Who hasn’t occasionally failed Gods’ time test?
Jesus!
He is probably the only one.
It seems to be a universal problem we all are tested on and we all fail from time to time.
We grow impatient waiting for God to fulfill His promises.
Even when we have great confidence and faith to believe the word He speaks to us, we still often struggle with the timing of its’ fulfillment.
Abraham and Sarah did.
They took matters into their own hands.
When it seemed like the promised child was not conceived in the time frame they determined it should be, Sarah’s handmaiden Hagar became their solution.
But their solution created a problem the world is still dealing with today.
Isaac was born on Gods’ timetable.
God is true to His word.
Even when it seems like our circumstances demand an immediate answer.
I love how often Jesus was delivered out of the hands of men intent on His destruction because ‘His hour had not yet come…’
He was in intimate fellowship with His Father at all times.
He knew, not only His purpose in coming to earth, but He also knew that purpose would be completed on the Fathers timetable and not His own.
The words “It is finished” were true not only for the mission that was completed but for the timing of that mission as well.
Has God spoken to you concerning some things that seem to be delayed?
Hold fast to His word and persevere in faith trusting Him with, not only the fulfillment of what was said but, the timing of its’ fulfillment as well.
God is never early.
God is never late.
God is always right on time!
