Day 1 : Never Late

"Christ arrives right on time to make this happen. He didn’t, and doesn’t, wait for us to get ready. He presented himself for this sacrificial death when we were far too weak and rebellious to do anything to get ourselves ready. And even if we hadn’t been so weak, we wouldn’t have known what to do anyway. We can understand someone dying for a person worth dying for, and we can understand how someone good and noble could inspire us to selfless sacrifice. But God put his love on the line for us by offering his Son in sacrificial death while we were of no use whatever to him." Romans 5:6-8

SCRIPTURE: "Christ arrives right on time to make this happen. He didn't, and doesn't, wait for us to get ready"

OBSERVATION: He has perfect timing. He will come through at that time, regardless of whether we are perfect enough, good enough or we spend enough time with Him! Often I think I have to do "this" or "that" so that I am who He wants me to be, like He is waiting for me to be ready, so "it" can happen sooner. While I should always try to get closer to God and foster my relationship with Him, I'm not going to make it happen sooner or spead God up. He shall always come through at His appointed time - Go's timing is perfect!

APPLICATION: If we are waiting for Him to act in our lives, or use us, we should be ready because He is ready it'll happen regardless of our readiness.
(1) focus on my relationship with Him, let it deepen and mould me.
(2) watch for his leading, guidance, instruction & word.
(3) do it without hesitation.

PRAYER:
Dear God,
Thank you for using me and benefiting me; even while I am unworthy!
Help me to grow closer, to grow more worthy.
Help me to recognize Your voice, understand it and obey it.
Help me to hear it more regularly, and lean on it more.

Amen.
