When the Time Comes

Isaiah 60:22 KJV

A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.

Here is an assurance we may count on. When God's time is set, when His plan is come to full term, God will do what He has promised - quickly.

There are many instances in life that can serve as an illustration that, though a thing may seem slow in coming, when the time arrives; the thing is carried out quickly. A child's Christmas, for instance. As the season approaches the child becomes more and more anxious for that moment. As

• Decorations go up
• The tree is lit and
• The gifts begin to accumulate under it

sleepless nights ensue. The child feels like that day will never get here. But Christmas does come.  And in less than a moment, all is said and done. The anticipation of Christmas is always huge compared to the actual event.

It often feels like the day of God's promise will never be here:

• We suffer under the hands of difficult oppressors
• We struggle with the bonds of fleshly sin
• We strive to see souls come to believe but fewer do not than do

As we pray and search the Word of God, as we envision a world where God's will is done on earth as it is in heaven, sleepless nights fall upon us. When, oh when, will His promise become reality?

The believer is never to fear, when his time comes, and it will come, God will hasten the fulfillment of His promise. He is more than capable. There is nothing but His own timing holding Him. When the time comes God will quickly and with haste keep His promise.
