GOD'S TIMING

REFERENCE
Genesis 21:2 [ESV] And Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age at the time of which God had spoken to him.
Genesis 21:2 [Message] Sarah became pregnant and gave Abraham a son in his old age, and at the very time God had set.

EXPLORATION
This verse represents the beginning of a kept promise. The promise was that through Abraham God would raise up a nation. The thought to grasp, the action to take hold of; is that the promise is being kept in God’s timing.

APPLICATION
It’s Sunday morning and it’s the beginning of the third day that I’ve spent with men from KCC on a retreat. It’s the beginning of a new chapter in the life of men’s ministry at KCC. Perhaps it’s the beginning of a new chapter in the lives of some of the men. But the greater significance is that it is God’s timing.

PRAYER
Father,
As you bore to Abraham & Sarah their son Isaac, who’s very name means “he laughs” in your timing - may you also in your timing give to each of us - Isaac’s Itch - a longing that just has to be met - in your timing.
