God's Timing

Ecclesiastes 3:1  
To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:

It is about God's timing. He has set aside the right time for everything. This is what we may think this scripture might mean. We hear this often as people wait for the manifestation of a request made to God. It is like God has a things to do list and when He gets around to it, it will happen.  

I hear people say there are three answers to prayer, yes, no, and in his timing.  

I can't seem to find any evidence of that training in my Bible, in the life of Jesus. They came to Him and He took care of their needs. He did not say the timing is not right. I will get to you later. Go and suffer some more.  

He did tell some that the time was not right to minister to the gentiles. He was there for the Jews. Yet in each case He did minister to them anyway. The timing was now.  

At Calvary Jesus said "It is finished." He hung on that cross so all could be free. Because of that all mankind can experience salvation. All can experience healing, prosperity, and the unmerited favor of God. All have the unconditional love of Father God.  

We don't walk around waiting for God's favor. We have it now; if we believe in our heart. It is not God's timing it is ours. When are we going to receive what is already true? When are we going to walk in the truth of the gospel? 

Satan is a liar and a thief. He will attempt to fill our minds with things to divide us from the truth of the gospel. He will tell us about how sick we are. He will put doubt in our mind for us to dwell on. He will work hard even through well meaning friends to divide us from the truth of the gospel.  

Just believe in God's word, in His grace and receive all Jesus made available at Calvary.
