In His Appointed Time

Psalms 75:2 "When I choose the proper time, I will judge uprightly."

Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, "To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven." 2 Peter 3:8 also tells us, "But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." Jesus' first coming occurred at God's appointed time (Galatians 4:4). During His time here on earth, no matter how often an attempt was made on His life, He did not lay it down until it was time. So it will be that God's righteous judgment will come at the proper time. Jesus will return at the time appointed by the Father. As we patiently await His return, everything that happens in our lives, happens in accordance to God's perfect timing. The best part about that is that while we wait for God's perfect timing in our lives, He is walking alongside us, and seeing us through whatever it is He is allowing. Regardless of what we are going through right now, we can always be thankful for the righteous judgment that is coming at God's appointed time. So, do not give up. We must keep our eyes on the One who will return to judge the wicked, and reward the righteous in Christ Jesus.

Today, God extends an invitation to you to accept His free gift of salvation (Rom 6:23). Will you accept it? Anyone who calls on Jesus, by faith, in repentance, confessing your sins, will receive eternal life. Do not put off calling on Him, and receive Him and His free gift of salvation today (Rom 10:13).
