Trusting His Timing
God's timing, mingled with God's favor, is an irreplaceable dynamic that holds a much greater value to us, in a relationship with Jesus, than our next breath.
Favor with the Lord always makes a difference... sometimes it multiplies, sometimes it overcomes, and other times it overrides the simple or complex things that family, friends, or foes use to bless or limit our lives.
To trust the Lord also means to entrust ourselves to His timing! Yes, it means we believe He makes no mistakes and He's never late.
God's timing and favor are keys in this HARD but HEROIC story of Joseph. The timing of his dream, his brother's wounds, the slave traders, Potiphar needing a new servant, the lies of Potiphar's wife, the prison, a dreaming butler, baker, and Pharaoh, a humble interpreter with God's favor upon his life, who's been intentionally placed in the right place, at the right time, for the right purpose of God. The timing of this prophetic vision that was given to Joseph's great-grandfather, Abraham, is coming to pass and being manifest before their eyes. Timing and favor... favor and timing, however, we look at it, is KEY. They make faith such a beautiful work of art... and a world looks in awe at the Master's work in our lives waiting for us to tell them who has done this and what they should do next. Joseph was faithful with both, God's timing and His favor.
Glory... Favor will equip you with far more than the best books and brightest brains. Joseph is a testament to this truth... as he checked out of the prison and checked into the palace.
Yes, all of it was timing mingled with favor... So, we have to remember, that not every gate, seat, job, or place |
