On Time

Sometimes in life we find ourselves in a place that's between a rock and a hard place. That place can be defined as a place where on a miracle can turn things around. In such moments I have come to discover that only a divine encounter can turn around the situation. There are many things that can be said about such circumstances but I want to focus on one thing today and that is the fact that God is always on time. He is never late. 

Look at Mary and Martha in John 11 who sent for Jesus as their brother and Jesus' friend Lazarus was sick. The limitation they had placed that the only time a miracle could be worked was while Lazarus was ill was destroyed when Jesus appeared 4 days after Lazarus had died and apparently out of time for a miracle He gave them one. God is never late even if the situation or person is dead.

Remember Abraham and Sarah, they were without a child and it never seemed like they would ever have a child. But they held onto the promise of God and at 90 years of age Sarah gave birth to Isaac. Her dream to hold a child of her own may have become a mirage as years passed but thanks be to God who indeed filled her mouth with laughter. In spite of the delay in seeing her desire as per human timing she still held her son as promised by God. To be delayed is not to be denied.

I don't know where you are in life, whether you in the valley or at the mountain top either way you will need to have it settled that God will be on time. God has never been late; ask Joseph who thought he was forgotten in jail but moved from prison to palace. See Gideon, who considered himself the least of the least but discovered that he was on God's agenda for leadership and spearheaded a turn around for his people. The bible is filled with examples of God being on time. Settle it in your heart and mind that even though the circumstances may rage God is still going to be on time. Expect God to move on your behalf as He surely will.
