The word for today is - Timing !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Timing !

 

Read Hebrews 6:12,That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. How about this,when God makes us wait for something or an answer, what do we do?  When one is under pressure, it is hard to remember that for God, a day is like a thousand years. Well, we are in 2011, so that means it's only 2 days for God. It is also easy to shake our heads when we read of believers in the Bible not being patient enough to wait for God's deliverance. When the heat is turned up, a day can seem like a thousand years, and we can find ourself tempted to say or ask, "How long, O Lord?" The Bible talks about a man of God who had really bad timing. Who is this man? Moses ! Although Moses was one of the greatest men of God, he also was a man who had some serious setbacks and committed sin. Moses is one of the men God used who actually was guilty of murder. First, he was the baby protected by God and adopted by Pharaoh's daughter.That means that,he was being raised as royalty, Moses' heart was in the right place, but his actions were foolish. You have to understand that, God wants us to do His will in His way in His timing. You see sometimes, we have to wait on God's timing.  Moses was a leader in training, but he wasn't ready yet. He had lost his people. He had lost his reputation. The key is this, but he had not lost God. What looked like the end was actually the beginning. Understand that, God still uses ordinary people, rich or poor today, even people who have made mistakes. God can still, and will use you. He gives second chances. Maybe you need one today, ask God for another chance to get right with Him. Look what He did for Moses, Forty years later, God appointed Moses to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt. What Moses did not realize was that God had been preparing him during that time. How long? Forty years later! Now read Exodus 3:6, Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God. Why? What was God saying? I am the God of ordinary men who have accomplished some extraordinary things. There is hope for you. I am not just the God of Abraham. I am not just the God of Isaac and Jacob. I am the God of Moses. I am calling you ( put your name there). I am giving you a second chance. Now, God's timing is in Isaiah 40:31,But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Help us Holy Spirit, read 2 Corinthians 12:9, And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. It's not about your timing, it's always about the Lord's timing. He is an on time God! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
