•A Prayer for God’s Perfect Timing in My Life• By Anthony Valente👉 “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.”(Ecclesiastes 3:11)The world seems to be in chaos like things are occurring haphazardly. Yet, in reading the Bible, we see God knows about timing. In fact, He set time into place: “God called the light ‘day” and the darkness He called ‘night.’ And there was evening and morning—the first day.” (Genesis 1:5) Everything God has planned through history since the world began is perfectly timed, as Galatians 4:4 reveals: “But when the set time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law.”Often, we don’t see how God can plan things out, especially in such detail perfectly, but He knows how to put us in the right place at the right time. No details are too difficult or minute for Him to work out His plan in our lives. Daniel 2:21 describes how God is over all time: “He changes times and seasons; He deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.” Even delays may not be what they seem, but rather, God calls things into place in our lives. Whereas we often believe it’s the enemy interrupting and interfering, it may be God’s grand orchestration. There is a popular saying that God is never late and rarely early. Of course, we know through Scripture that God’s timing is faultless and perfect. He is not disheveled or haphazard with time.— Setting Times UpExodus 9:5 reveals how God sets times beforehand: “The Lord set a time and said, ‘Tomorrow the Lord will do this in the land.’” As well, Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 explains:“There is a time for everything, And a season for every activity under the heavens: A time to be born and a time to die, A time to plant and a time to uproot, A time to kill and a time to heal, A time to tear down and a time to build, A time to weep and a time to laugh, A time to mourn and a time to dance, A time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, A time to search and a time to give up, A time to keep and a time to throw away, A time to be silent and a time to speak, A time to love and a time to hate, A time for war and a time for peace.”Whenever we doubt God’s timing, all we need to do is look in the Bible to see how God is in the details of life. Mark 1:15 reminds us Jesus said, “’ The time has come,’ He said. ‘The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news.’”Let’s pray.✝️ Dear Father,Thank You for setting the time into place. Help me to trust You are working out the details in my life in perfect timing. I surrender my will and desperate efforts to make things happen when and where I want them to happen. Teach me, instead, to trust You are moving on my behalf.Show me how to believe You make all things beautiful in Your time, the time that really matters and counts for all of eternity. Thank you, dear Father, for Your Word that encourages and reminds me I don’t have to worry or fear missing out on all You have planned for my life. As Psalm 23:6 reminds me, “Surely Your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” In Jesus’ name,AMEN 🙏 “But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:8-9)“In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.”(Proverbs 16:9)“Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.”(Proverbs 27:1)“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. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.”(Proverbs 29:11-12)“The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.”(Lamentations 3:25-26)“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”(Proverbs 3:5-6)For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.(Habakkuk 2:3)But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.(Isaiah 40:31)Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!(Psalm 27:14)And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.(Galatians 6:9)But he said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”(Luke 18:27)And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.(Romans 8:28)“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”(Psalm 46:10)And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among people by which we must be saved [for God has provided the world no alternative for salvation].”(Acts 4:12)For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.(John 3:16)(pic verse)But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.(1 Corinthians 15:57)Artist 👨‍🎨 I Am With You Always - David Delfeld
