Charles Stanley Daily Devotional TOPIC: In the Fullness of Time
SCRIPTURE READING: Galatians 4:4-5
The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit planned and created a beautiful heaven and earth. Yet even before Adam and Eve were formed, God knew sin would enter the world, causing us to be separated from Him. However, a plan for our redemption was already in place. In the fullness of time, the Son of God took on human flesh and dwelled among us to carry it out (Romans 5:6).
The Lord doesn’t do anything haphazardly. Every plan of His is meticulously accomplished at just the right time. And this truth doesn’t apply to just the big events in human history. He has a specific plan for every believer too. He ordained the day each of us would be born and has complete knowledge of what each moment of our life will hold. And just as He did when Christ was born, God will, in the fullness of time, execute each part of His will for our life. He’s promised to work all things for our good when we love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).
Are you trusting God’s plan for your life? The One with complete knowledge and wisdom knows what He’s doing. Have confidence in His timing, even when circumstances tempt you to rush ahead or give up hope. He is faithful to complete what He has begun, and He is never late.
BIBLE IN A YEAR: 2 Chronicles 35-36
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: God finishes what He starts, and His timing is never a moment too early or too late.
