93. When It Is Your Time
When it is your time to be promoted, healed, or restored, God does not go check with your friends, your neighbors, or your co-workers. He does not need anyone or anything to achieve His goals. Just like with Mary, He says, I can make it happen without a man. He the Almighty says,
“Say, “Nothing will befall us except what God has ordained for us. He is our master, and in God let all the faithful put their trust”. (Qur’an; 9:51)1
Instead of considering your circumstances today, why do not you consider your God? He is the all-powerful Creator of the universe. The dream He has placed in your heart may seem impossible, it may look too big, but do not overanalyze it and try to reason it all out. Follow Mary’s example. Dare to say, “God, I do not see a way, but I know You have a way. Let it happen to me according to Your Word”.
When thoughts come saying, “It is too late; it is impossible”, learn to ignore them. That may be one report, but remember, God has another report. He always has an option we cannot see. He is saying today, “Every promise I have spoken over you, every dream I have placed in your heart, I will bring it to pass”. Receive His Word by faith and trust that He is working behind the scenes. The Qur’an says,
“Say, God is sufficient for me. In Him let all the trusting put their trust”. (Qur’an; 39:38)2
Therefore, when you are a servant and a child of Almighty God, it does not matter who you know or where you have been. Know that He can make it happen without any help.
