Fear No Fear

“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven:” (Ecclesiastes 3:1, MEV). Everything has a proper time. And God is the FATHER of eternity (Isaiah 9:5-7), the origin of time. He KNOWS the perfect time for everything, the acceptable time for everything, and the when-it-will-still-work time for everything. Although we can hinder His perfect timing (Psalm 78:40-42), we cannot hinder HIM (Acts 5:39). Among other things, this means that God knows the PERFECT time to do His PERFECT will. He ALSO knows the PERFECT time to do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. Period. Jesus goes before us (Deuteronomy 31:8). He has a solution before we know there’s a problem. He sets us up for TOTAL success. That’s love. That’s attention. That’s shepherding. And if we miss it and need correction to get back on track, He’s there for that too. Plus preparing what we need in our new place on His path. He does everything that we need to have done. We MUST listen and we MUST obey. We must humbly submit and do what He says when He says. Because He’s arranged for our way out. He’s arranged for our success. He’s arranged them in a way where we can point to it and say GOD DID THIS! We can give Him the glory because it was accomplished OUTSIDE our strength and talents. We have to totally rely on Him. Since He loves us, He prepares what we need, for when we need it, and He does it perfectly. Obedience always yields results because He always knows what is needed. And WHEN.
