"But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons."
- Galatians 4:4-5
God never does anything randomly. He doesn't decide on a whim to take action. He has a plan, a perfect plan for everyone. And that plan has been laid out for all of eternity.
So often, though, we look at the way we make decisions and we try to put God in the same box. We assume that because we have knee jerk reactions to situations and circumstances, surely God does the same thing. But he doesn't.
Did you notice the first few words of today's passage? "When the time had fully come." God had a plan to bring Jesus Christ to earth at a certain time. Jesus Christ came into the world at the perfect time, with everything arranged for the swift spread of the good news of God's salvation that is available to everyone—including you.
God's timing can be hard to understand. But it is perfect. If you are waiting on something from God, don't get discouraged. Instead, look at the perfect timing of his son's arrival, and trust that God has a perfect time for working in your life as well.
Dear God, I know that your timing in everything is perfect. I believe that you sent Jesus Christ to the earth at the perfect time. And because of that, I can have faith that you will act in my life at the right time and in the right way. Thank you for that. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
