God moves in his own TIME. He does not work according to our timetable.  It is very important to understand God’s timing for our lives.

Est. 4:13-15

13 Then Mordecai told them to answer Esther: “Do not think in your heart that you will escape in the king’s palace any more than all the other Jews. 14 For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”

What does God’s Timing require?

1. Requires abandoned faith (Esther 4:15)

Esther needed to act and act NOW. She couldn’t wait, procrastinate or ignore. She had to go to the Kings presence with abandoned faith in God.

2. Requires our immediacy of obedience (Esther 4:14)

Immediate Obedience brings immediate blessings.

2 Cor 6:2

Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.          

3. Requires your readiness and preparation of character  (Esther 4:!6)

Esther fasted, prayed and prepared before going to the Kings presence. Our readiness will accelerate God’s timing. The delay might be because of our lack of readiness. 

4. Requires our patience (Is 40:31)

 Isa 40:3131 But those who wait on the LORD? Shall renew their strength;They shall mount up with wings like eagles,They shall run and not be weary,They shall walk and not faint.  God is seldom early but He is never late. An Eagle waits on the top of the mountain for the wind to blow and then he spreads his wing and launches into the air. He knows the importance of timing. 

If we fail to respond to God’s Timing. 

You will be replaced by some ones else (Esther 4:14)

 Esther 4:14 For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. 

You will lose many years of your life because you missed God’s timing (Numbers 14:34)

 Num 14:34-35According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, forty days, for each day you shall bear your guilt one year, namely forty years, and you shall know my rejection.  

You may not enjoy the maximum blessings of God (2 Kings 13:18-19)

 This king in this scripture could not enjoy the maximum blessings of God for his life.Because he did not wholeheartedly respond in God’s timing. 2 Kings 13:18-1918 Then he said “Take the arrows,” and the king took them. Elisha told him, “Strike the ground.” He struck it three times and stopped. 19 The man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have struck the ground five or six times; then you would have defeated Aram and completely destroyed it. But now you will defeat it only three times.” 

  Understand God’s Timing and respond to God’s timing. Don’t be lazy or halfhearted in your response. May God help us to respond to God’s timing and receive his maximum blessings.
