Bible Verse of The Day – 12-28-20

Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NKJV) 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

Want to know what one of the biggest problems is with humanity when it comes to our walk with God?

It’s waiting for God to do what He needs to do in order to accomplish His end goals.

Oh, how we squirm, object, holler and throw tantrums when we have to wait on Him!

But if we learn to wait on Him, after a while we will see that He works it all out, and it’s beautiful in the end.

How He does this can’t always be explained. He just does it.

It’s not the “how” that’s important. It’s the doing. And God’s specialty is doing.

Oh, and for His timing? It’s never, ever wrong.

Be still. Wait. And trust.

Psalm 46:10 (NKJV) 10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-8-18

Romans 5:6 (NKJV) 6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

If something is done in due time, it’s the same as saying it is done in the right time.

Have you ever heard someone say that something will get done in due time? I have! I grew up in a family of 9 children.

“When will supper be ready, Mom? In due time. Help me set the table now”.

“When can I get those new shoes, Mom? In due time. Help put away the laundry now.”

“When can I start to date, Dad? In due time. Don’t worry about it. For now, go out and play” .

This was a pretty common phrase growing up in my family. All it meant was that it would happen in the right time and don’t question it. Of course, we didn’t like to hear that answer, because it didn’t seem like a straight-forward answer. However, it was indeed the answer we needed.

The scripture says that Jesus died for the ungodly in due time. In the right time. Before that, we were without strength and weak.

We don’t need to remain in this condition any longer. Through the death of Christ, His crucifixion, His righteous blood was sacrificed for us, so that we would be made whole and strong in Him.

Ephesians 6:10-11 (NKJV) 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Due time is here and now. God made provision for us. Let us put on His whole armor today and walk in it. Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-2-17

Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NKJV) 3 To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven…

God’s timing and seasons are something that we teach about frequently.

Why? Because understanding God’s timing, and recognizing it in our lives is critical to us doing the right things at the right times.

Doing the right thing at the wrong time is equivalent to doing the wrong thing.

When that happens, it can cause us to question God and wonder why He isn’t answering our prayers or fulfilling His promises in our lives.

But, in reality, God is right on time, as He always is. It’s us that’s off. This happens more often than we know.

Sometimes we know we’re supposed to make a move, a choice or a decision that requires action on our part. So, we go ahead and do it. And then things don’t turn out the way we thought they would, or the way we wanted them to.

This is due to us only hearing part of what God has told us. Sometimes this happens because we have “selective hearing”. We hear what God tells us and key in on the part that we like!

But we can sometimes ignore the parts that we don’t like so much because they might require us to wait. Or maybe they require us to take certain steps that we either don’t like taking, or maybe don’t know how to take.

Other times it happens simply because we misunderstood God or didn’t hear Him correctly.

But don’t fret. This is all part of the learning process in our walk with God. We start out as infants, and then we grow, a little at a time. Soon we become toddlers and then we move up to elementary school.

And, if we stay diligent, and we keep learning and trusting God, we will move on through high school and graduate, with honors.

So, don’t give up. Don’t grow impatient. And don’t get discouraged if you get it wrong more than once. Keep pressing in, growing your relationship with Him. In due time, the pieces will come together and we will learn to move in His perfect timing.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-23-13

Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NKJV) He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

He made everything beautiful in its time. In its time.

Notice that the scripture doesn’t say that He makes everything beautiful in our time? Oh how we wish sometimes that it was the opposite. But I’m sure we would all get ourselves in massive trouble if everything went the way we want it, when we want it.

So many times we hear people talk and teach about how God will make us wait until He’s good and ready to do something, or give us something.

But in reality, it’s not so much about making us wait, as it is waiting until everything is in its place.

Timing is everything.

God has set an order to everything and it’s not up to us to try to change that order or alter something to make things happen the way we want them to happen.

And when push comes to shove, the timing that God has set in place for everything is so much better than ours.

So if you’re waiting for something today, whether it’s a breakthrough or anything else, remember that He makes everything beautiful… in its time.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-16-13

(2 Peter 1:5-7 NKJV)  But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, {6} to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, {7} to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.

Knowledge is a beautiful thing if handled correctly. It helps us to know what to do, how to handle situations that come our way and what we need to say at times. Taking the knowledge that God gives us and waiting on Him to show us what to do with it will cause us to learn self control, which is vital to the body of Christ.

We can have a great deal of knowledge, but if we can not deliver it the way God wants us to, or in His timing, it can and will hurt others, including ourselves.

When God gives us knowledge for our situation, or anyone else’s situation, the next step is to pray and wait on Him to show us what to do with it.That will build up that self control muscle.

Have you ever prayed for something or someone, and you knew that God gave you the answer, yet when you acted on what you felt God showed you it didn’t work, or it was not received by the person you shared it with?

This can happen if we are out of God’s timing when sharing knowledge He has given us.

Having self control over the things we receive from God will help us be more productive and see better results as we wait on Him. Let us build up that self control muscle today by waiting on His timing.
