DIVINE TIMING
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26
Esther 6:3b-6a
Psalm 31:9-15
"My times are in thy hand..."
DIVINE TIMING
The king’s servants present on the night of his insomnia answered the king that nothing had been done for Mordecai. King Ahasuerus wanted to know who was present at the court so that he could assign him a task. The king’s servants informed him that Haman was standing in the outer court office. The king then gave instructions to allow Haman to come into his presence. The reason for Haman waiting outside was that he was hoping to seek the king’s permission to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had built. But the king had a question for Haman: what could the king do to honour someone he was pleased with? Haman was only too pleased to enumerate the ways because he thought it was for himself. He even forgot to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai.
Mordecai’s life was hanging on a thread. This was the day he would be hanged if Haman’s request was submitted. But before Haman could ask anything, the king asked Haman’s advice on what he could do if he wished to honour someone. God’s timing was perfect, as always. Even the timing for honouring Mordecai was timed for now, and not earlier. It would be at this point, when Haman wanted to apply to the king to hang Mordecai, that God would put it in the king’s heart to honour him. Do you wonder and fret at times about why God has not acted yet? Do you wonder if God has overlooked you while the wicked get ahead? But we can fully trust in Him. His plans for us are perfect in timing and have no mistakes. Do not be troubled in such times as we learn from here that not even the most powerful and malevolent man could outpace, outwit, or out-time God. Be patient. In time, God will deliver and exalt those who obey Him. The Psalmist rightly affirms in Psalm 31:15: "My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me." God’s timing for all things is always perfect. He is never late, and never early. He will bring His works to pass with maximum effectiveness for His purposes, right on perfect time.
THOUGHT: Do I find it difficult to submit to God’s timing?
PRAYER: Lord, help me to wait upon Thy perfect timing.
