God’s timing is always perfect

When you think of God, what do you think of?

His goodness? His love? His mercy? His blessing?

What makes God good? Is it because He gives us things? I would argue that the bible says He is good regardless of WHAT He has done for us. Too often we as Christians forget our relationship with God. God would be God with or without us. God would be good with or without us.

​The Lord is good to all,
And His tender mercies are over all His works.

Psalms 145:9

God is Lord and we are His servants. The fact that He allowed us to wake up this morning was a blessing. The fact that we still have our right minds, where I can write and you can read this devotional, is a blessing. The fact that you have clothes on your back is a blessing.

He has already blessed you, because He does not have to do any of the things that we traditionally take for granted. Understanding that we need to be in a constant place of thanksgiving and praise to God for what He has blessed us with.

Now that we understand our relationship with God we must understand how a master blesses their servants, if the master is righteous like our God. We have been blessed with the answer to that.

His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’

Matthew 25:23

This verse breaks down the exact way our God blesses a faithful servant. He entrusts us over a few things first. To prepare us and mold us. To allow us to see where our heart is at. When we have proven, we can be trusted, too ourselves not to God He already knows what we will do with it, then God opens the door for the larger blessing.

Now let me go over that proof. That proof is not that you are going to be responsible. Not that you are going to grow it. But rather the proof is if you are going to share it! That is what the molding time is for, so that you can learn how to share it. Only after that does growing it matter, because you won't horde it.

How do we know this? Simple Jesus said:

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

John 13:34-35

How did Jesus love us? He didn't hold back anything. He shared of himslef, His things, and eventually His life freely to all. That is the measurement of can we be trusted with more. Showing that we are one of His.

I thank God for His divine timing. His timing is always perfect. In our minds, the blessing may seem like it is taking a long time, but in reality the blessing is right on time. God knows what is best for us and if we allow Him to lead us then everything always turns our alright. Remember the bible tells us:

In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.

Proverbs 3:6

God is waiting to lead you, but He wants your submission first. This is because in this submission you can love like He loved you. I hope this helps you.

I hope that you can internalize this and use it when you struggle with submission in your daily life. As the bible says:

​Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,

1 Samuel 15:22

​To obey you must submit. My prayer for you is that God gives each and everyone of you a heart of humility and submission so that He the work in your life. Remember Paul's words:

I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

1 Corinthians 3:6-7

Til next time brothers and sisters Amen.
