Praying To The God Who Is Dependable to Act At Just The Right Time

December 18 – just one week until Christmas in the middle of this long running pandemic. What a time we are living in.  God knows all about time.  He does what is right at just the right time and is willing to even communicate with us what He is doing.  Think about this:

…The Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us’.  Isaiah 7:14

This was a promise God gave to His people hundreds of years before the birth of Jesus.  At just the right time, this promise was fulfilled.  From many other scriptures recorded in the Bible, we have solid evidence that God has set a time for each of His plans to be fulfilled.  He will neither be too late nor too early.  God will act at just the right time.

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly." Romans 5:6

Today is a good time to reflect on God's promises in the Bible and remind ourselves that, at just the right time, God will bring them all to pass for simple trusting people like us.

Loving God, Help us to believe and trust that at just the right time You will make perfect all that concerns us.  Help us to be patient and trusting in the meantime.  Help us to learn from Your people who waited for hundreds of years from the time You signaled that Jesus would be born until His birth actually took place in Bethlehem. 

Lord today, our simple prayer is to live in trust that “at just the right time” all those things that need doing in us and around us will come to pass.

The Second coming of Jesus for which we’ve been waiting since He ascended back into heaven also seems a long time coming but we know that You know the right time for that to take place.  In between now and then, we pray to be watchful, faithful, and trusting.  You are the God who speaks and who fulfills His word at just the right time.  Amen
