Perfect Timing

 Ecclesiastes 3:11 ( NIV) He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart, yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

Today, I was moved to write on time. I believe one of the critical assets in life is timing. There is a time to sow. And time for harvest.Have you all experienced delays in life? It can be any form of delay, but in 2024, the Lord reminded me that this year will be the year of perfect timing.

It can be a delay in health conditions.

Delay in studies or carrier progression.

Delay in financial provision.

Delay in marriage or being a parent.

Delay in dreams materializing.

Delay in ministry.

It can be any form of delay. But the Holy Spirit reminded me that 2024 is the year of perfect timing. We must remember that the Lord is a Lord of generations.

Psalm 135: 13;  Your name, Lord, endures forever, your renown, Lord, through all generations

As I meditated upon this verse, I realized that the Lord we serve is the Lord of generations. He is the Lord of Abraham and Isaac. He is the Lord of our fathers, grandparents, and great-grandparents. He has been faithful yesterday. He will remain faithful today and continue remaining faithful in generations to come.

Below are a few verses I have taken from the Bible to help us understand the Lord of Perfect timing. Do not be disheartened if we don’t see certain things not being accomplished. But instead, rejoice in the Lord, knowing 2024 is your best year yet!

Habakkuk 2 : 3 (KJV); For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

Genesis chap 18: 14 (ESV); Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time, I will return to you, about this time next year, and Sarah shall have a son.”

Acts chap 1: 7 (KJV); And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

Romans chap 8: 28 ( NIV); And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

Lamentations 3: 25( ESV); The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.

Jeremiah chap 29: 11 ( NIV); For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Dear readers, let this year be the year we trust God more. Let us acknowledge the Lordship of Jesus Christ upon us surrendering our timing unto His hands. When we try to control so much based on our goals and visions we have in life, we will come to a stage in life where we know we need to let go. It is best to surrender them unto the Lord. It is still early 2024. Let go of our timing into God’s hands. It was never according to our timings. The Lord is the Lord of perfect timing. He even brought you to the world based on His timing. It was never your timing. He is faithful throughout all generations. Be hopeful. We have the Lord of Perfect timing. Rejoice!
