9/25 At The Set Time

Genesis 21:1-2

“And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken. For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.”

God is always on schedule. We notice that the Bible states that Sarah conceived at the set time. No, it was not the timing of Abraham and Sarah but it was the timing of God. Abraham and Sarah thought they should have had a child many years prior. Abraham and Sarah thought God just wasn’t going to come through for them in this area of their life. But God is always on time and will come through at the set time.

We must realize that God's timing is never the same as man's timing. God does not work off of man’s calendar of schedule. Though we may live in a day when we expect everything to happen right now, God does not work that way and God knows what the best timing for our lives is. We must realize that at the set time God can and will come through as He has promised.

What is it today that you are wondering if God is ever going to come through for you on? Have you been praying for something for several years and it seems as if God is never going to answer that prayer? Let me just remind you that whatever the issue is in your life that you need for God to come through, at the set time He will come through. It may seem that if God doesn’t come through right now that you are facing complete destruction, but rest assured that God knows your situation and God knows what the best timing is. Because of this, at the set time, He will come through.

Now don't be impatient on God and try to work things out as Abraham and Sarah did. When you do this you will always hurt yourself as well as others. Abraham and Sarah, because of their impatience, have caused heartache for many generations that followed them and even to this day. When we become impatient with God and try to work things out ourselves, we always cause hurt to ourselves and even to many that we influence. Learn to wait on God realizing that at the set time He will come through.
