Subtitle: God's time is the best time.
Scriptures for the month of June: Isaiah 55:8-11 & Isaiah 43:18-19
God knows what He’s doing, and He’s never late. His word is still at work, and He always reveals it. He will never be known as untrustworthy—He always fulfils His word.
God won’t be found unfaithful. We just need to hold onto what He said He’s doing, for He will never abandon His word.
Isaiah 55:8 - God's word will always accomplish what He sent it to do, but we just have to wait for His time. God's ways and ours are so far apart that they can never come together; there is no comparison between God's ways and ours. But He wants us to understand His ways, and He is faithful to His word. His time is the best.
He’s never early, never late, never too fast or too slow—He always arrives right on time. Many of us don’t understand God, but we must recognise that there is only one God, and He is vastly, profoundly different from us in His ways. God exists outside of time.
When we know we’ve messed up, we often feel that God won’t help us—but He will, and He doesn’t condemn us. Every moment of my life, Jesus is reaching into my life. He is constantly seeking access to my heart and wants to fill me with Himself.
His decision to love me today was made with the knowledge that He knew I’d fail tomorrow. Though I might mess up, and things go backwards, it doesn’t change the fact that His time is still the best.
God has a time for everything in my life, and when that time comes, He will fulfil all that He has been working on within me. But I need to be in the right place at the right time. When I find stability by trusting in Him, I am always in the perfect will of God. It’s not about me being perfect—it’s about being in the perfect position to receive His will and blessing.
If everything turns upside down, at least I know that His time is best; I just need to hold onto His word. If I don’t trust Him, I’ll never trust that He can manage all my affairs.
Daily, He manages me and is on my case, constantly looking at how to correct things in my life. I need to know that my life is so important to Him. He puts us in His mind when he makes his plans, but I need to be in the right place at the right time to receive what He has for me.
We often rebel when we sense what God wants to do. We resist and close ourselves off to it, but we must learn to trust His process and timing.
If I don’t trust God, then to me, He will always seem unreliable, untrustworthy, and like someone who lets me down. That will be my experience of Him—not because He is any of those things, but because of how I perceive Him in my life, simply because I don’t trust Him or align myself with Him.
God won’t compromise; we need to move to where He is. We’re the ones who need to move—He simply won’t.
Though I suffer, I won’t struggle. Suffering is in the flesh, but struggling is in the mind. I need to be very clear on God’s word, His promises, and His position in my life.
Many don’t go to church simply because they don’t understand Him. I need to learn to see my life through His eyes—to understand my life from His perspective. When I do, I see a much bigger picture.
Psalms 46:10-11
God wants me to trust His timing and not take matters into my own hands. Being still also means being at peace. I need to remember that He is still God and He hasn’t changed. When God has a great purpose for my life, I will always go through extreme suffering—because this is what builds me. I need to learn that His timing is best, and I will carry out what He desires to do.
I don’t need to focus on the obstacles in my life. If God says do it, I should just do it. God will bless me tomorrow based on how I walk today. He knows the obstacles, but He can also go before me. I ought to simply obey God and not worry about the obstacles.
Isaiah 43:18-19
Many times, we base our future on our past. But God doesn’t want us to remember the past and former things. When we hold tightly to the past, it’s hard for God to do new things in our lives. If we expect our future to be like our past, we can only act based on what has already happened. When I don’t let go of the past, I hold onto the curse—but when I let go, I release the curse.
If there’s anyone in my life I haven’t forgiven, I need to forgive them. I need to let go—not for their sake, but for mine, because I need to align myself with God. I need to understand God’s process.
When we don’t let go of the past, we end up glorifying the devil, because what happened to us wasn’t from God but from the enemy—yet I’m holding onto a testimony that speaks of the devil.
I need to let go of the old things that do not testify to the goodness of God.
John 11:1-7
Jesus was fully aware of the severity of Lazarus’s condition, and the Scripture clearly shows how much He loved him. Yet, even with that love and knowledge, verse 6 tells us that Jesus stayed where He was for two more days. Why? Because of verse 4—Jesus needed to be glorified through it.
Sometimes, we find ourselves in desperate situations, and God may not act immediately. But for His glory, He may allow us to go through hardship. In the end, however, He will glorify His name. Many times, God takes us through tests—tests that involve suffering and are meant to build resilience within us.
We cannot see the glory of God without first enduring suffering.
He’s always on time. Trust the process.
Amen.
