When It is Your Time

There is time for every event under the heavens. God has programmed all occurrences in our world with time so that everything happens in its time.

Certain things are bound to happen when it is its season and time. God has programmed nature to work according to time and seasons, take the rain for instance. It doesn't rain at all times until it is its season and time. Though the clouds may gather but it will rain down in due time.

God also has a perfect time for our lives when He manifest Himself in special ways and fulfill His perfect plans and good thoughts about our lives.

Our times may be different from each other but the time for the fulfillment of God's plans will surely be due for everyone.

There is no need for you to rush just because someone's time was due just wait on God and He will make all things beautiful when it is your time.

I read a story about Hannah, Samuel's mother. She tried to conceive for many years but to no avail.

She was provoked by her rival who had given birth to many children all the time but Hannah put her whole trust In God was could turns things around for her Good.

She never struggled again when it was time for her to conceive:

He had two wives; the name of one was Hannah and the name of the other was Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children. That man would go up from his town each year to worship and sacrifice to the LORD of the Heavenly Armies at Shiloh, where Eli’s two sons Hophni and Phineas served as priests of the LORD. On the day when Elkanah offered sacrifices, he would give portions to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters, but he would give twice as much to Hannah because he loved her. Now the LORD had closed her womb. Her rival would provoke her severely so that she complained loudly because the LORD had closed her womb. Elkanah would do this year after year, as often as Hannah went up to the house of the LORD. Likewise, Peninnah would provoke her, and Hannah would cry and would not eat. Elkanah her husband told her, “Hannah, why are you crying and why don’t you eat? Why are you upset? Am I not better to you than ten sons? Hannah got up after she had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the chair by the doorpost of the tent of the LORD. Deeply distressed, she prayed to the LORD and wept bitterly. Hannah made a vow: “LORD of the Heavenly Armies, if you just look at the misery of your maid servant, remember me, and don’t forget your maid servant. If you give your maid servant a son, then I’ll give him to the LORD for all the days of his life, and a razor is never to touch his head.” As she continued to pray in the LORD’s presence, Eli was watching her mouth. Hannah was praying inwardly. Her lips were quivering, and her voice could not be heard. So Eli thought she was drunk. Eli told her, “How long will you stay drunk? Put away your wine!” “No, sir!” Hannah replied. “I’m a deeply troubled woman. I’ve drunk neither wine nor beer. I’ve been pouring out my soul in the LORD’s presence. Don’t consider your maid servant a worthless woman. Rather, all this time I’ve been speaking because I’m very anxious and distressed.” “Go in peace,” Eli answered. “May the God of Israel grant the request you have asked of him.” She said, “Let your servant find favor in your eyes.” Then she went on her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad. They got up early the next morning and worshipped in the LORD’s presence, and then they returned and came to their house at Ramah. Elkanah had marital relations with his wife Hannah, and the LORD remembered her. By the time of the next year’s sacrifice, Hannah had become pregnant and had borne a son. She named him Samuel because she said, “I asked the LORD for him.” 1 Samuel 1:2-20

All that matters is for us to keep praying and wait on God till it is His perfect time and all things shall be made beautiful.

Shalom!
