Everything Is On Time

Everything is On Time

God prepares all things good for a specific time and purpose. He responds and reacts to all our human choices, whether good or bad, in perfect wisdom... be it judgements or blessings. Both his judgements and blessing are good, and on time. 

Is God really silent when atrocities occur and swift judgement doesn't fall? Does it mean he doesn't care when those faithful toward him or the innocent are kIlled and he doesn't stop it? Do we understand all things? God truly is sovereign over all, and we can surrender our trust to that. God knows the hearts of men, and he cares deeply that none should perish in an eternity of torment because of their sins. That's the bottom line issue. He knows who will repent no matter the state of their heart today, and he knows who the stiff necked rebellious are who will continue to shake their fists in defiance at him. He sent wayward Jonah to Ninevah and they repented, and he destroyed Sodom and Gomorah after faithful intercession for any righteous in that city by Abraham!

We live in times where evil seems to be getting the upper hand, and is allowed to grow and fester and do its damage, but what does God think? Is He silent in it all? Do we know what's happening behind the scenes? God is pulling people out of sexual immorality today, out of terrorism, our of corrupt living in lies and deceitfulness, out of wastefulness and laziness, out of hatred and murder, out of empty religion. Out of captivity! At the same time, he knows of the underground hidden tunnels of sin in our hearts, our lands, our ruling bodies. He knows all things, and He faithfully warns us in the Bible that, outside of Jesus Christ, he will judge sin, and he will judge all unrighteousness in a very swift manner at the right time. The closer we get to all hell breaking out on earth, and God's translation of his children out, and Jesus Christ return it is going to get more and more intense. Evil will get bolder, Good will shout louder warnings. The earth and heavens will shake and signal more powerfully. But above all these things the steadiness and assurance and peace of God RESTS in how he has made it possible for us to be with him in that perfect REST.  Most LOVINGLY, he has made a way for all people to escape these judgements and even wrath by a person placing their complete trust in his son Jesus Christ: “When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners.” Romans 5:6 NLT.
