The Fullness of Time

The Fullness of Time…

Galatians 4 says, “In the fullness of time, God sent His Son, born of a woman.” Does that simply mean that He came because it was the perfect time and so that made it the fullness of time? The “fullness of time” is a Hebrew expression.

It speaks of “prophecy” or “God’s purposes being fulfilled.”” Yes, things were set up perfectly, but Jesus wasn’t born just because it was the perfect time. Rather, it was the perfect time because He was born.

We tend to look for the perfect time or the perfect situation when everything will be right in our lives. We think we will be happy at the perfect church, perfect job, perfect marriage, perfect situation, or perfect everything.

The point of your life isn’t to get to the perfect situation or place. It’s to let come into that less than perfect situation. For whenever He comes, it is the perfect time.

This world will never be perfect, but your job is to let the Perfect come into it. Jesus didn’t come just because the time was perfect. The time was perfect because came.

And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation to all that obey him.  Hebrews 5:9

Today, invite into that less than perfect situation or place in your life and let His presence make it perfect.

Dear Heavenly Father, Help us to understand that the fullness of time is not about waiting for the perfect circumstances but about inviting Your presence into our imperfect lives. May we learn to trust that Your timing is perfect and that Your presence can make any situation perfect. We ask that You come into our lives, into our struggles, and into our imperfections. May Your presence bring light, hope, and joy to our lives. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Wherever you are, be there totally.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always

Ed 🙏🏼
