THE CONFIDENT WOMAN DEVOTIONAL: IN DUE SEASON

Spread the love

TEXT: Gal 6: 9

“Due season” is God’s season, not ours. We are in a hurry, God isn’t.
He takes time to do things right – He lays a solid foundation before He
attempts to build a building. We are God’s building under construction. He is
the Master Builder, and He knows what He is doing. We may not know what He is
doing, but He does, and that will have to be good enough. We may not always
know, but we can be satisfied to know the One who knows.

God’s timing seems to be His own little secret. The Bible promises us that He
will never be late, but I have also discovered that He is usually not early. It
seems that He takes every available opportunity to develop the fruit of patience in us. Patience is a fruit of the Spirit that
grows under trial.

Developed potential without character does not glorify God. If we were to
become a huge success and yet be harsh with people – that would not be pleasing
to the Lord. Therefore, if we get ahead of ourselves in one area, He gently but
firmly blocks our progress in that area until the other ones catch up.


Remember: God is never late.

Pray: Lord, thank You for Your patience with me. I want everything now, but You
are building my life with eternity in mind. I don’t understand everything
You’re doing, but I trust You. Amen.

From the book The Confident Woman Devotional by Joyce Meyer.
