When It Looks Like It’s Over, God Comes Through
As Pharaoh approached, the people of Israel looked up and panicked when they saw the Egyptians overtaking them. They cried out to the Lord. Exodus 14:10
God is never in a hurry, and he’s never late.
He’s always on time.
So what happens in those times where it appears that God is late? God is getting you ready for a miracle!
God’s timing is perfect, even when we can’t understand it. We’ll never fully understand God’s timing because He is timeless, He has a different view of time.
In Exodus chapter 14, the Israelites panicked. In the flesh they thought it was over. They saw the sea before them and Pharoah and his army behind. What they didn’t know is God was about to show them a miracle that would cause them never to doubt or fear. Just when they thought it was over, God opened up the sea! This account should bring comfort to every situation you are facing, knowing that God is never late but always on time.
God didn’t part the sea immediately; He did it at just the right moment — right after the Israelites had reached the edge of the Red Sea, but before Pharaoh’s army could overtake them. God’s timing is never early or late; it is always perfect. Sometimes, in our own lives, we may feel like God is taking too long or that we’re running out of time, but we can rest assured that God will act at the moment when His glory will be most evident, and our faith will be built.
Just when it seemed like there was no way out, God intervened. Sometimes, we may feel as if God is silent or distant when we face challenges. But the truth is, God is always on time. His way may not always be the way we expect, but His timing is perfect. The Red Sea didn’t part until the Israelites had reached their limit, showing that God’s deliverance often comes at the right moment—just when we need it most.
Prayer for today: Heavenly Father, help us to trust You when we are overwhelmed and to stand still and see Your deliverance. We choose to rest in Your power and Your perfect timing. We thank You for fighting for us, and we believe that You will make a way. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
