GODS PERFECT TIMING: A LESSONS IN PATIENCE

By Apostle, Dr. Alex L. Jenkins, Sr., Chief Leader of the New Life Apostolic Church of Jesus, Inc.

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

As we reflect on these reflections and thoughts lets kick things off with a topic that hits close to home for many; the perfection of Gods timing. In a world that moves at lightning speed waiting can truly test our faith. Yet grasping and accepting Gods timing can pave the way for growth and a stronger reliance on His master plan.

Unpacking Gods Timing

The pages of the Bible are brimming with instances where God’s timing’s flawless. Take Ecclesiastes 3:1 as an example, where it reads, “To everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven.” This verse serves as a reminder that every event, in our lives unfolds according to orchestration. While we may not always comprehend why delays or seasons of waiting come our way we can have faith that everything is being orchestrated for our good.

Navigating Through Waiting

Our patience is truly put to the test when we encounter setbacks or hurdles.”In todays paced world we often struggle with waiting for things to happen at the time according to Gods plan. The Bible teaches us the importance of patience. James 5:7 8 advises us to be patient, like a farmer waiting for the harvest reminding us that the Lords return is near.

Fostering Patience

During times of waiting it is essential to maintain trust and surrender. Isaiah 40:31 gives hope to those who wait on the Lord by promising renewed strength and endurance likening them to eagles soaring high without growing weary.

Practical Ways to Develop Patience

1. Prayer: Keeping a line of communication with God helps us align our desires with His purpose.

2. Meditation, on Scripture: Regularly immersing ourselves in Gods Word strengthens our faith and endurance over time.

In my experience I’ve gone through periods of waiting. Each time I’ve seen how faithful God is as He reveals His plan at the moment. These situations have shown me that delays aren’t denials but opportunities, for blessings.

As we keep believing in Gods timing lets remember that He’s always on time. His timing is flawless. His intentions for us are positive. Lets learn to wait trusting that our caring Father is, in charge.

Stay tuned for week when we explore another thought provoking topic. Until then hold onto your faith and trust in the timing of God.
