There is a SET TIME!

Scripture:

Genesis 21:2 "For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him".

Observation:

God had promised Abraham that he would be the father of many nations. He told him that his seed would be as numerous as the stars in the sky or the sand on the seashore. Abraham was 100 years old and his wife Sarah was 90 when she gave birth. They had been married for decades and not been able to produce offspring. The child Isaac came at the "set time".

Application:

There is always a set time for the things God has spoken to His people. God is a god of order and process. He knows when the right time is and sometimes we rush ahead of God's process and timing. We must realize that God's timing and ours are seldom the same. We must realize that His timing is perfect and what He promises, will come to pass. This is an area of trust that we need to grow into. It is difficult to trust God when He is saying something that doesn't make sense. Trusting God and understanding that there is a "SET TIME" is crucial to following Him.

Prayer:

Lord, teach us to realize that You are a god of times and seasons. That You are in control and we don't have to rush anything. You are amazing, powerful, and nothing is too difficult for You! Teach me to slow down and let things happen in Your time because Your time is the right time!
