Ecclesiastes 3:11a : He has made everything beautiful in its time.
Are you someone here who has experienced delays in life?It can be a delay in any area of your life.It can be ambitions,dreams,family,promotion,marriage or even delayed prophecies.The list can go on and on.Everyone have a story of their own.But the good news is ,regardless of each other’s stories ,everything is beautiful in God’s perfect timing.

I was reflecting on the story of creation today,how God brings life to earth.Each of us we have a purpose in this life.This life that is given to us is God’s gift to us.Sometimes we try so hard to please God,try doing everything else to get God to answer our prayers,but today I realise this is not the right way.
In my personal life journey, I have decided to step back in this new season.I am done trying to achieve my own timing. I am done trying to get God to answer my own selfish prayers.
I have decided to step back and no longer follow my timeline, ambitions, and selfish desires in life.At the end of the day,He has a perfect timing.He has made everything beautiful in His timing.I have decided to learn to turn upon the Lord.
Mark chap 4 : 26-29 He also said, ”This is what the kingdom of God is like.A man scatters seed on the ground.Night and day,whether he sleeps or gets up,the seed sprouts and grows,though he does not know how.All by itself, the soil produces grain-first the stak,then the head,then the full kernel in the head.As soon as the grain is ripe,he puts the sickle to it because the harvest has come.”
I was meditating upon this verse and realised Jesus was using this seed parable as the Kingdom of God.The Kingdom of God is likened to a seed sprouting and growing, but he does not know how.All by itself, the soil produces grain.Once grain is ripe, he puts sickle to it because the harvest has come.This whole process of seed being scattered on the ground and to grow ,it requires process.There is a process where God has established.The seed cannot produce harvest without letting the grain ripe.The harvest only comes latter.
Many of us we do not like the process.We want the harvest as soon as possible; hence, the process is not God’s.We like short cuts. But in this parable,I realise God was reminding me one factor involved in this seed growing is time and the suitable soil.
Over time,the seed produces grain.Over time,we become matured in Christ.We do not need to struggle to make the seed grow.Instead,once we are planted in the suitable soil and follow the process,the seed automatically grows.No struggle required.Only grace.By grace the seed grows.By grace we grow.
I would like to encourage my readers today, regardless of how many years Christian you are, let us do a reflection and ask God today .Are we in the right soil? Are we planted in the right soil?Where is the new season God is leading us into?Are we ready to move into the new season?Are we prepared to lay down all our belief systems and restart from scratch again.Putting away everything we have been taught before and restarting our life all over again.
Go through the process of serving,reading the bible,starting the basics all over again.Are we ready to surrender upon the Lord?
The right soil will produce a healthy seed, and with time the seed will grow and give a harvest.This right soil can refer to a church.Are we planted in the right church for this season.The right soil can also refer to our own heart.Our hearts needs to be right with the Lord.We need to open our hearts once again.Once we are planted in the right soil,with time,everything becomes beautiful.There is a process that is ordained by God.As the Lord has reminded us,everything becomes beautiful in His time.
Let us surrender our lives to the Lord Jesus Christ and allow Him to lead us in this new season.I pray this new season will transform my readers and me.
Say this today : Everything is beautiful in His time-R.J.JOHN
Prayer: ”Abba,I thank you, Lord for my readers.I thank you Lord, for preparing their hearts to be the right soil.I also pray, Lord, you lead them into the right church this season.As you lead them,they bring their generation with them.Let them not restrict their belief systems and continue trusting you, Lord.Abba,I thank you, Lord for transformation.”Amen
Application:
1.Pray and ask God to help you find the right soil.Do not be picky and judgemental.But instead open your hearts to let God lead you to the right church.
2.Trust Jesus like never before in this new season.
3.Have a notebook.Write down your delays in life in one page.After writing it down,throw the page away.Start your life fresh new again.You can be 20,30, or even 70 years old.Never too late to start with God.
