Bible Verse
“He hath made every thing beautiful in his time...”
— Ecclesiastes 3:11 (KJV)
Ellen G. White Quote
“God is too wise to err, and too good to be unkind. He is never too early, never too late.”
— The Ministry of Healing, p. 255
Reflection
One of the hardest parts of faith is waiting. Whether it’s waiting for an answer to prayer, waiting for a change in our circumstances, or waiting for our dreams to come true waiting can feel like a long, hard road. Yet, Scripture assures us that God is never late. In fact, He makes everything beautiful in His time
The key is trusting in God’s timing. While we often want things to happen on our schedule, God sees the bigger picture. He knows the perfect moment to answer our prayers, the perfect moment for healing, and the perfect moment for breakthroughs.
Consider how a flower blooms. It doesn’t happen overnight, and it doesn’t happen on the gardener’s exact timeline. But the beauty of the bloom is all the more glorious because of the season of growth it went through. Similarly, God’s timing in our lives often involves seasons of preparation, growth, and refining.
Ellen G. White reminds us that God’s timing is perfect He’s never too early or too late. Trusting in His wisdom and goodness, we can rest in the assurance that He knows what’s best and when it’s best.
Let This Be Your Prayer Today
Lord, I trust Your perfect timing in my life. Help me to be patient as I wait for Your plans to unfold. Strengthen me to rest in Your wisdom and know that You are working all things together for my good. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
