God’s Perfect Timing
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we
will reap a harvest if we do not give up. - Galatians 6:9
The famous evangelist, George Muller, one day decided he would
pray diligently for five of his friends to receive the Lord. So
he began. Day after day, he would pray for these five men by name. And after
many months, one of them trusted Jesus. Ten years later, two others came to
faith.
It took 25 years before the fourth man was saved. And on the
issue of his fifth friend, Muller prayed diligently for 52 years for him to
receive Christ. After Muller’s death, his faith was rewarded when his friend
was saved soon after his funeral!
Oftentimes, the answers to our prayers come not on our
timetable, but on God’s. However, God is the all-knowing and all-powerful
Creator of the universe. That means there’s nothing more perfect than His
timing!
Maybe you’ve been praying and praying, waiting for a
breakthrough to come. If so, just remember God’s timing is perfect. He’s never
late and never early. Trust in God’s perfect timing for every single blessing
and find contentment in His plan for you and those you love!
