Ex. 4:10 π Job 40:4 π Jer. 3:15 π Gal. 4:4 π 2 Cor. 4:10 π 2 Tim. 2:21

“But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, subject to the law.” ( Gal. 4:4; top )

Contemporary Christianity is almost totally unconcerned about waiting for God’s timing, but revels in looking for open doors and is anxious to be working for God.

If we are willing to be a servant of the living God, then the role of a servant is one of obedience to God’s timing.

We do not seek a ministry to feed our pride, even though we know the call of God is upon us. We seek only to serve God, and when His time is right we go forth, one step at a time, and only with His direction and counsel.

Today it is fashionable for most everyone to go forth after conversion, often putting labels upon themselves, then trying to fulfill the label by doing something for God. We are to fulfill nothing but the divine timing of God - the Biblical pattern of timing was in most cases more years of preparation than the ministry.

We are to be sanctified and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work ( 2 Tim. 2:21; top ), but not seeking to do every good work. Doing “good” is the enemy of “perfect.”

Usually, the most vulnerable people to disregarding God’s timing are those that have just graduated from a Bible course, who have head knowledge, void of actual experience, who haven’t been able to say “Behold I am vile,” like Job ( Job 40:4 ), and therefore are not really ready. Moses said, “I can’t.” ( Ex. 4:10; top )

Without the actual experience of trials, sufferings, delays, misunderstandings and difficulties, we are without the divine source of compassion, insight and mercy of God. “...that the life of Jesus might also be manifest in our body.” ( 2 Cor. 4:10; top )

“...I (God) will give you pastors according to My heart which shall feed you with (My) knowledge and understanding.” ( Jer. 3:15; top ) (In God’s timing.)

If our motivation doesn’t come from a heart purged of pride, we fulfill our own timing, bringing discredit to God’s Kingdom. In this present generation, we have seen so much that has posed as God’s program, but has been ruled by pride, lust for attention, and fundraising that our generation cannot come close to comprehending what a real move of God would look like.

But God’s timing is always to send the holy after the profane has had its day.

The real end-time move of God will be fulfilled after man’s futile attempt has failed to produce what God has prophetically promised. So man has produced what only humans can produce: death. The corpse looks at peace, but its innards are corrupt, decaying into dust, absolutely destitute of light, a product of darkness.

God’s glorious and holy light follows man’s blunder with something so unlike what we have observed to be God’s Kingdom that the contrast will be too much for even the holiest of Christ’s credibility to accept.

The holy has superceded the profane in God’s timing as God always has the last word!
