“He’s Always on Time.”

In talking about the Lord, someone once told me, “He may not come when you want Him to, but He’s always on time!” How true that is! Our time means nothing to the God of the universe. We may be praying, “Hurry up God!” But God has His own “time.”

I love the story of Lazarus. He was the brother of Mary and Martha. (Mary was the one who had spent a lot of money on the alabaster box of oil and poured it on his head and wiped his feet with her tears.) It was this Mary, so you know how much Jesus loved them. But, while Jesus was away preaching in another town, he received word that Lazarus was sick. Jesus did not come right away. Instead, He “abode two more days” where He was. When he finally left, Lazarus had been dead for “four days.” Martha immediately questioned Jesus about why He did not “come when they wanted Him to.” Jesus affirmed that they would see the “Glory of God.” When they arrived at Lazarus’ tomb, Lazarus was already dead, already buried and bound from head to toe in grave clothes! But, at the voice of Jesus, Lazarus had to hop up the steps, bound head to toe, couldn’t even see where he was going… but hopping up out of the grave! That’s when Jesus said, “Loose him, and let him go.” John 11:44

Maybe you’ve prayed and prayed, and nothing has happened. But in God’s timing, it will happen! And it will be a bigger miracle than what you had been praying for! He is “able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” Ephesians 3:20

Have a great day!
