In 1943, Winston Churchill wanted an invasion of Europe to defeat the Nazis, but the Americans weren’t ready. They were ready one year later. And when the Germans on the French beaches saw thousands of ships coming through the mist one morning, they knew Franklin Roosevelt, the American president, had been right to wait.
Now the allies were at full strength and aiming for victory. Timing saved civilization.
It’s like that in life sometimes, isn’t it? For all of us. How many times have we been sure that we needed something right now, but then had to wait?
Ecclesiastes 3:11 says, “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has set eternity in the hearts of men. Yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.”
God knows what you need, and when you need it. And the Bible says He’s known all of this since before He created the world. His timing wins every time. And that’s a good reminder.
Let’s pray.
Lord, you know best, all of our needs. Thank you for delivering on your timing and not ours. In Jesus’ name, amen.
