Everything takes time.I remember waiting for the bread to rise. Oh, how I waited.I could taste the soft slice of bread covered with butter. But it not only needed to rise up, it needed to bake before I could have that wonderful slice of bread. God took his time too. He always wanted his children to be good but he seldom got what he wanted.
He finally had to take Adam and Eve out of the garden. They had only disobeyed once. He had Noah build an arc so he could get all those wicked people drowned. He put up with a lot of wickedness in all 40 years when Moses was trying to get God’s children into the promised land. And after a time God had to exile them to Babylon and be ruled by Nebuchadnezzar. I could go on telling about God’s children deciding to go their own way, but here we are, in the 2000’s, and we still haven’t learned that it is best to follow God’s leading which is laid out for us in His Word, the Bible.
You know Jesus was in God’s plan. We know that because He said so in many parts of the Old Testament. He came at just the right time! But He didn’t arrive the way they thought. He came as a tiny baby born in a barn, and He grew up, a poor man walking around the country preaching. They even helped kill Him! No, they would not accept him as God. Still, There were enough folks who believed He was the Son of God. They began to follow His teaching and marveled at His many miracles.There were men traveling far miles to introduce Jesus to the rest of the then known world.
Now here we are in 2022. We have a world that kills babies and does many other bad things. Too many of us don’t believe in God and really want to do things their own way. Yet, there are many who are waiting for God to come along and fix things up. Everywhere we hear “God’s in control”. All we have to do is wait.He will come, but only at His time. He has proved that.Just read those stories in the Bible! GOD REALLY IS IN CONTROL!
