The fullness of time

The Fullness of Time
Waiting on the Lord is always challenging! It seems all creation is waiting and wondering. Yet over and over, God shows that He knows the right time for all things. He has a perfect plan for every season and activity, and He never acts too soon or too late. We’ve all impatiently prayed about various needs and uncertainties in our lives. We likely know people who need God's help right now, and when they don't receive answers, it may seem as if He is doing nothing. But we must not be impatient or lose hope! We must keep praying, obeying, and trusting in God's perfect timing.
Friends, we must never forget that God answers our prayers and provides for our needs in the "fullness of time" (Gal. 4:4). Only He knows the right time to fulfill His perfect plan and purposes. We must also remember there is a suitable time to act prayerfully. When God opens doors, seize the moment! When He provides an opportunity, sow seeds with the time, talent, and treasure you have been given. "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up" (Gal. 6:9). Remember, the Lord always fulfills His promises in the fullness of time.
Happy Epiphany
