Daily Devotion -He's Always On Time

Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So when He heard that he was sick, He stayed two more days in the place where He was -John 11:5-6.

Our God may not move or work on our scedule and sometimes situation may seem dire to us. Other times it may seem like, if our God does not come through for us right then and there, then all hope is gone. Our God shows up whenever He is ready. Whenever He knows the time is right.He is not governed or hindered by time. Even if it was an illness that resulted in death and the person has been funeralized and laid to rest. Even then God is still able to command that person to rise from his dead state. After all, He is the resurrection and the life! (John 11:25)

Someone may be going through a fiery trial and is wondering when will God come through for them. Don't you worry, and don't you fret. Just keep on praying and believing. He will come through for you. He may not come when you want Him but He's always on time.

The number one most wanted terrorist in the world was just killed in a firefight in Pakistan on Sunday May 1, 2011. This man is responsible for the death of nearly three thousand Americans on September 11, 2001. Many may still be asking where was God on that dreadful day. God was right there before the first plane hit and He was there as each person died in Him. He received each one into heaven with him and although many grieve for love ones to this day, these love ones are in a better place and would never return to a world like this if they had the choice. Not to take anything from any family member or friend left behind here. Your love one still cares. Understand that they are now praying that you too will someday soon, come to where they are and enjoy what they are enjoying, once God's purpose is fulfilled in your life.

Prayer: Lord teach us faith, hope and patience to trust you to come to our aid on time, even when you're not there when we expect you to. Amen.

Encouragement: Hold on just a little while longer. He may not come when you want Him to, but He's always on time.
