THOUGHTFUL THINGS

God Is Always On Time

In life, we often find ourselves in seasons of waiting—waiting for healing, for provision, for answers, or for deliverance. In these moments, it can feel as if God is silent or distant. But Scripture reminds us that God is never late. He operates in a perfect timeline, one that is beyond our understanding but always for our good. God is not governed by our clocks or calendars. His timing is divine, deliberate, and always right on time.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV) declares, “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” This verse assures us that God has appointed times for everything in our lives. He sees the full picture while we only see fragments. While we may be anxious or impatient, God is preparing us, positioning us, and perfecting us for what is to come.

One of the clearest examples of God’s perfect timing is found in the story of Lazarus. When Jesus was told that Lazarus was sick, He delayed going to him for two more days. To those watching, it may have seemed like Jesus was too late. But when He arrived, Lazarus had been dead for four days—and that delay became the platform for a greater miracle. Jesus called Lazarus from the grave, proving His authority over death itself. Jesus said in John 11: 40 (KJV), “Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?”

What seems like a delay to us is often a divine setup. In Galatians 6:9 (KJV), we are encouraged, “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” That “due season” is God’s perfect time. He never forgets what He promised. He never overlooks your faithfulness. He is working behind the scenes, orchestrating things for your good and His glory.

Habakkuk 2:3 (KJV) tells us, “For the vision is yet for an appointed time… though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” God’s promises do not expire. They arrive precisely when He intends them to.

So take heart. If you are in a season of waiting, know that God has not forgotten you. Trust His timing. He is never too early, never too late. He is always on time—right when you need Him most. Let faith rise in your heart and believe: your appointed time is coming.
