On Time God
The Lord Is Always On Time!
The Lord Is Always On Time!
Have you ever struggled with God’s timing? Perhaps you think He’s late in answering a request? Or He’s forgotten you? The devil would love for you to believe that! But it’s just not true! God holds time in His hand. He’s never a moment early or a second late!
I was reminded this morning, reading the triumphal entry in Mark 11, how perfectly on-time the Lord always is. Zechariah prophesied 500 years before Palm Sunday what would take place: “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is Just and having salvation, Lowly and riding on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey” Zechariah 9:9. Daniel also prophesied of this day in Daniel 9:24-27, saying there would be 69 weeks (translated 490 years) that would determine the coming of the Messiah and the future tribulation. He also predicted the date that Jerusalem would be rebuilt and restored, which was fulfilled by Artaxerxes in 445 B.C. And that 69 weeks (years) later the Messiah would come. This translates to 173,880 days. And guess what? 173,880 days from the declaration of Artaxerxes calculates to April 6, AD 32, which is the exact day that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. Coincidence? I don’t think so! God’s timing is always perfect! Hang in there — He’s got you and the things that concern you in His hand. Be patient with His timing, trusting that it will happen, and it will be perfect.

Hope In Him
We shouldn't be fooled, because God is on the move!
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” Romans 15:13
Hope is the expectation of coming good. Our hope is not in governments but in our great God who promises to never leave or forsake us. God is for us, and if He is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31). Our future may look different than expected, but we shouldn't be fooled, because God is on the move! He uses all things for good in our lives as believers (Romans 8:28).

Blessings in Suffering
Last weekend, our Widow’s Ministry learned the many ways God can use suffering in our lives.
Last weekend, our Widow’s Ministry gathered together for their monthly brunch. We had a blessed morning as we shared a meal, fellowshipped, worshipped the Lord, and prayed together. We left encouraged after hearing about how God sees the widow in scripture and about the blessings in suffering.
In all the references in the Bible to widows, many themes are reveal about how God sees and treats the widow. God cares for widows (Acts 2:6). He defends (Psalm 68:5) and protects the widow (Proverbs 15:25). God hears the widow (Exodus 22:22) and advocates for the widow (Isaiah 1:17). He will bring justice for the widow (Deuteronomy 10:18). God restores the widow (Job 29:13) and cares for the widow (James 1:27). And in the Gospels, we see Jesus shows compassion to the widow (Luke 11:11-17).
In each of our lives, God uses suffering in many ways and for many purposes: to keep us His humble servant, to show His grace, to perfect his perfect power in our lives, and to show us that He is all we need. Keep your focus on Jesus. He is with you (Isaiah 41:10). He protects you (Psalm 91:4). Remain a humble servant of Jesus. Our suffering is not in vain, He is working out His perfect will. With suffering comes blessings, if our hope is in the Lord. “And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in You.” Psalm 39:7
