…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 NLT)
All of this occurred to fulfill the Lord’s message through his prophet: “Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’” When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded and took Mary as his wife. (Matthew 1:22-24 NLT)
In the Bible God has given us examples of patience and timeliness on which we can reflect. God has promised to gather His faithful people to Himself and wipe away every tear from their eyes. He patiently waits for us to come to Him and surrender our lives of selfishness and sin. He won't wait forever, but He is waiting until the season of invitation is complete. Jesus was born at God's designated time. Jesus took upon Himself the deserved punishment for our sins and died for us. At just the right time Jesus opened the door to God's saving grace so that we would be ready when He comes again for us to spend eternity with Him.

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.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28 NIV)
Prayer: Loving God, Help me to believe and trust that at just the right time You will make perfect all that concerns me. Amen
