Topic: TIME FOR EVERYTHING
Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:1
“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.”
Message
God has His own timing for everything. We know this from Ecclesiastes 3:1 in the Old Testament, and we also know it from 2 Peter 3:8 in the New Testament. Peter writes, Do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the LORD one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. When we look at the two verses together, we realize we can be confident that there will be a time for every purpose God has for us, but that timing may not be what we think it should be.
Scriptures that remind us that certain seasons will ultimately come may not offer any insight into the details of God’s timing, but they do encourage us to trust Him—and part of spiritual maturity is learning to trust God’s timing. We struggle with that until we reach the point that we are surrendered before Him.
This means we need to let go of our own agendas, our self-will, our sense of independence, and any effort to “make” things happen in our own strength.
Are you trusting God for something in your life? The season will come for it to manifest for you. If God has purposed it, He will bring it to pass at just the right time, which only He knows. All you have to do is trust Him.
Prayer
God, I acknowledge You as Lord over every area of my life this day. Help me walk in Your perfect will in all that I do and everything that I say”.
Father God, help me to trust Your timing completely, and know that You will fulfill Your promises to me in just the right season in Jesus’ name. Amen.
