It is hard to believe that the Christmas season is upon us….
But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son… (Galatians 4:4, NLT)
In reading those words, I realized that God always keeps His promise. He also keeps it according to His time schedule which is so different than our schedules. When the time has fully come. If we have not seen the fulfillment of a promise, the time has not yet fully come. And so we wait, much the way the world waited for His birth.
Lord, thank You for speaking to us through Your Word and Your prophets. It strengthens my faith to read of the many things that were prophesied in Your Word which have already come to pass. I know this means that every promise in Your Word will be fulfilled. Thank You for always keeping Your promises.
I humble myself before You this day and ask that You would help me to clearly hear and understand Your instructions to me. Enable me to fully know Your laws and obey them. Give me every-increasing faith to believe that Your promises are true. Help me to see all the promises to me in Your Word so that I can stand strong in them and rest in You as I wait for them to be fulfilled in my life.
In Jesus’ name I pray.
Amen.

Dear Joanne
What never cease to amaze me, is the fact that being eternal, our Pappa has created time as we know it as well. One day is like a thousand years and vice versa in His economy. It humbles me to know that His majesty doesn’t know the limitations of time. This is beautifully illustrated by the fact that Jesus was slain before the beginning of this world.

Beautiful point. I am so glad that you shared, Mia. It is truly amazing to realize that He who is infinite chose to enter our finite world. Thank you for that thought!
Blessings,
Joanne

God’s word is amazing! I love it as well! Thank you so much for sharing this with us at Countdown in Style! Don’t forget to come back to see if you are featured! xo
I love that God has specific times when He fulfills His Word…divine appointments on His heavenly calendar.
Amen! And He still has those divine appointments in our lives today. For which I am most grateful!
This is perfect for this time of year. I struggle to know what to do especially when spending comes around. I want to fulfill His plan, but don’t always follow His direction. Thanks for sharing, Joanne, and linking up with Countdown in Style! Don’t forget to come back on Friday to see if you were featured!
