Set Timeනියැදිය

God's timing is the best.

You may have heard or even uttered those words at some point. But how do you respond when God's timing seems like a long, drawn-out delay?

Often, what we consider a delay or assume is a denial, God calls a set time. The obstacles, challenges, or disappointments you are up against may look massive. But God is greater, and there is a set time for His glory to be revealed in your life!

That was the case for a priest named Zechariah. He and his wife, Elizabeth, came from a long line of priests dedicated to God and His work. They lived uprightly before God and were exceptional among men and in the eyes of God. They had no children because Elizabeth was barren and they were getting old.

Someone might be wondering how could such good people be in this predicament? Where is God? Can He not see and help His own?

But the reality is that even when we cannot see the entire plan and nothing seems to make sense, God is always working and on time.

One day, while Zechariah was carrying out his duties as a priest in the temple, an Angel of the Lord appeared and said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah! God has heard your prayer. Your wife, Elizabeth, will give you a son, and you are to name him John.”

Like Zechariah and Elizabeth, there is a set time for you! The answer to their prayer and desire to have a child was only a matter of time (God's time). It makes no difference how long the wait is. Trust in God.

He will make a way.

He is the same God who answered the prayers of Zechariah and Elizabeth for a child. He is listening today and hears you when you pray.
