Your time will come

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
- Jeremiah 29:11

We live in a world where hurry and anxiety often make us question God’s timing in our lives. Sometimes we look around and see friends, family, and acquaintances reaching their goals and dreams while it feels like we are standing still. Yet it is crucial to remember that God has a perfect plan for each of us.

Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us that God’s thoughts toward us are of peace and hope. He has a specific purpose and the right time for every event in our lives. When we feel impatient or discouraged, we must trust that the Lord is in control and that He knows what is best for us.

Often the waiting season is a time of preparation. God may be shaping our character, strengthening our faith, and teaching us valuable lessons we will need in the future. Just as a farmer waits patiently for the harvest after planting the seed, we must learn to trust in God’s timing.

It is important to keep faith and hope alive, knowing that our moment will come. Let us continue seeking God, praying, and following His commandments. At the right time, He will lead us to the destiny He has prepared for us.

Remember, your time will come. God is faithful and His promises never fail. Trust in Him and wait with patience, because great things are coming for those who wait on the Lord.

Wait on the Lord and your time will come

  • Trust in God’s timing, knowing He has a perfect plan.
  • Use the waiting season to grow spiritually and strengthen your faith.
  • Keep a consistent prayer life and seek to follow God’s commandments daily.

Prayer:

Lord God, I thank You for Your faithfulness and for Your perfect plans. Help me trust in Your timing and have patience while I wait. Strengthen my faith and shape my character according to Your will. May I remain in constant prayer, following Your commandments. I know my time will come, because Your promises never fail. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Yesterday's Devotional

Word of the Day: Find peace in all situations!

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7

In the passage above Paul hands us advice on what we can do in every situation to find peace. His solution is through prayer and petition. When we do this we receive the peace of God, which we are told will guard our hearts.

Later in the same passage, we see a little more of the character of Paul and how his peace is manifested:

I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

Philippians 4:11-13

The Apostle Paul witnessed great miracles and had great success as a preacher, but he also suffered much pain, sadness, and persecution. Paul had many ups and downs, but he learned how to have peace and contentment in all circumstances.

He trusted in Jesus. When you trust in Jesus, you can find peace even in the most difficult times!

How are you feeling today? In all situations, pray and trust in God.

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

Love drives out fear!

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

1 John 4:18

If we truly love God, why should we be afraid? Love drives out fear and draws us to God. He is our safe refuge, and nothing can overcome Him. Those who love God and follow His ways have nothing to fear.

The only thing that can separate us from God is sin. Sin brings guilt, and guilt leads to punishment. Therefore, the best way to overcome fear is to turn away from sin. Walking with God instills courage in us! When we are in His presence, we feel safe and confident in His power.

Strive to perfect yourself in God's love and feel secure. Drive fear out of your life and experience the peace that surpasses all understanding!

Expelling fear

  • Deepen your intimacy with God and seek Him through prayer.
  • Tell God what your fears are. Open your heart to God.
  • Read the Word of God. It helps us draw closer to God and dispel fear.

Let's Pray:

Lord God, You are mighty, and in You, I find security. Guard my heart. Illuminate my path to experience Your love every day. In Jesus' name, Amen!

What is the Daily Devotional

The Daily Devotional is a special moment of your day that you dedicate to having a precious time of intimacy with God. It is very simple to establish an exciting routine of discovery and spiritual growth. You will achieve this by setting aside a moment each day to draw near to the Lord. During the Devotional, you will read a Bible verse with a meditation on the text. Then, you will meditate on the teachings and how to apply them in your life. In the end, you can pray.

How to do your Daily Devotional

Here are some tips for making the most of reading the Bible message during the Daily Devotional:

  1. Set aside a moment and choose a specific place: your devotional time will be more beneficial if you set aside the hustle and bustle and invest in a pleasant time alone with God.

  3. Read the daily meditation: reflect and try to understand God's purpose for your life through the comments.
