Scripture Reference
Luke 5: 1-8
There is a time that a
person may think is right, but there is also the right time of God. For instance,
Jesus was sent to this earth to redeem us when the time appointed by God came
and that is at the right time.
In our scripture
reference, we can see that Simon had a problem with time. He informed the
master how they had been fishing the whole night without catching any fish. He
also knew that fishes are caught in the evening and not in the morning. But he forgot that he was with the King who
reigns over all seasons and times, and that is Jesus Christ.
This is the problem
that many of us encounter when we are going through tough times. We measure the
time that we have been going through this particular problem. We want to help
ourselves or we focus on them. And we forget that we are with the One who
created darkness and light and who knows the beginning and the end of seasons.
This also happened to
Joseph after the dream that He had from God.
1. He was hated by his
brothers
2. He was sold out
3. He was incarcerated
once in Egypt
However, although he
was going through all these trials and tribulations, he did not stop believing
in God. And God did not need the help of anyone to remove him from prison.
Joseph came out of Prison not because he was declared non-guilty by the court
but because the right time of God had come.
It doesn't matter what
you may be going through because the one who reigns over times is with you.
Even though it took a long time for Joseph to see his dream come true, in the end, the promise of God came
to pass in his life.
This also applies to
you today. Hang on to what God has told you, don’t let it go. Know that at the
right time, his promise will come to pass. If God has
spoken to you and called you to do what you are doing today, persevere in your
calling and don’t try to convince people that God has spoken to you; at the
right time, your calling will testify and speak for itself.
