The Lord Is Always On Time!
Have you ever struggled with God’s timing? Perhaps you think He’s late in answering a request? Or He’s forgotten you? The devil would love for you to believe that! But it’s just not true! God holds time in His hand. He’s never a moment early or a second late!
I was reminded this morning, reading the triumphal entry in Mark 11, how perfectly on-time the Lord always is. Zechariah prophesied 500 years before Palm Sunday what would take place: “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is Just and having salvation, Lowly and riding on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey” Zechariah 9:9. Daniel also prophesied of this day in Daniel 9:24-27, saying there would be 69 weeks (translated 490 years) that would determine the coming of the Messiah and the future tribulation. He also predicted the date that Jerusalem would be rebuilt and restored, which was fulfilled by Artaxerxes in 445 B.C. And that 69 weeks (years) later the Messiah would come. This translates to 173,880 days. And guess what? 173,880 days from the declaration of Artaxerxes calculates to April 6, AD 32, which is the exact day that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. Coincidence? I don’t think so! God’s timing is always perfect! Hang in there — He’s got you and the things that concern you in His hand. Be patient with His timing, trusting that it will happen, and it will be perfect.
