The word for today is - Always !

The word for today is - Always !

Lets define always, it means :at all times; on all occasions.;Throughout a long period of the past. So, lets look at Genesis 18:14, Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. We must remember that God is always at work and always on time. Never be discouraged when you feel like God is not there or you just can't understand yet, He is there; you just cannot see Him and His work yet!  Read Ephesians 2:8-10, For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.  You have to have faith in order to see the things of God, we walk by faith not by sight. Now read Galatians 5:1-6,Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. God's purposes for your life can't be rushed. The word tells us that God is always on time! Are you carrying a seed that can't be harvested right away? One that needs to be nurtured andprocessed before coming to fruition? If so, don't let it die by trying to bring it to birthprematurely. Instead, trust God's timing. Remember, there's not one instance in Scripturewhere God was ever late.You can read the book of John chapter 11, about a certain man that was sick, named Lazarus and He died. His sister, Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died".  But, the power of God, read verse 25, Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. Wow ! Jesus told her, "I am the resurrection and the life." Those who believe in me, even though theydie like everyone else, will live again.  For the person that believes in Jesus, physical death is not a tragicend. It is instead the gateway in abundant eternal life and fellowship with God. “Yet shall helive” refers to the resurrection, “shall never die” means that the resurrected believer will neverdie. He will have a new body, immortal and incorruptible one that cannot die or deteriorate. Get this,  Jesus shouted, "Lazarus, come forth!"He That Was Dead Came Forth,the miracle of Lazarus’s resurrection was a sign pointing to Jesus as the resurrection and the life. It was a demonstration of what God will do for allbelievers who have died, for they too will be raised from the dead. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
