Have you ever been in the wrong place at the wrong time? Have you been in the right place at the right time? Do you believe timing is very important? Can you think of times when your timing was off? Do you know that God always does everything at exactly the right time?
We all have like experienced being in the wrong place at the wrong time. We have also likely experienced being in the right place at the right time. Timing can be critical for some situations and not very important for others. We all likely live by a schedule in one form or another.
God’s timing is perfect. He knows the exact time to act to produce the result he desires. He sent Christ into this world to teach, perform miracles, to die on a cross, and to be resurrected exactly when he intended and to have the impact he desired. This is one of many instances of God acting in the right place at the right time. We can list the exodus from Egypt, the parting of the Red Sea, David striking Goliath, Mary arriving at the empty tomb, and more.
God continues to act in the right place at the right time. We may not always think so, just like the Israelites thought God had led them to the edge of the Red Sea to destroy them. However, when God leads us, he leads us to success, not destruction. Christ came so that we might have eternal life. He came to rescue us, since we cannot rescue ourselves. We all fall short and only through Christ’s sacrifice are we lifted out of our deprivation.
I pray we all trust that God’s timing is perfect. I pray we know that Christ came at the right time. I pray each one of us know that we cannot rescue ourselves and that Christ came to rescue us. God’s timing is perfect. Christ came at the right time. Christ came to rescue us. Christ came so we might have eternal life.
Romans 5:6 For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
