In God’s Appointed Time

God is the author and finisher of all things. When it is time for you to be what you were chosen to be you will be. Until then, gain knowledge and understanding from every trial and tribulation.

When God created the world he created it in his own image. He did it exactly how he wanted it to be done, when he wanted it done, and for as long as he wanted it done. He did not ask the angels to help him, he did not hire a team of majestic beings to build it he just did it! He had a plan in mind that he wanted to put forth and therefore he did it.

There is not a tree, a bug, an animal, a grass, or a root, there is absolutely nothing that God is not aware of. He is aware of all existence because he created all things. Even us God created up for his purpose and his glory.

When God plants a seed it has to grow. Whichever type of seed that he ordains it to be, that is what it shall be. If he plants a tomato seed it will not grow to be an apple. God does not make mistakes he’s a perfect God. If he’s planted a seed in you, it will come forth. You may not have taken on the complete form of what God has ordained you to be because you’re still in the making.

A seed does not sprout and form over night it has to be watered, it must get a certain amount of sunlight, it must be planted deep enough in the soil.

The planter must be sure of what is needed in order for the seed to transform into the thing that is was chosen to be. A seed can not chose its own form it’s already been pre-designed. We were pre-designed. God purposed our life even before the womb, whether it is to do good or bad. He picked our parents, our atmosphere and environment.

He chose our nationality, our ethnicity, our physical form, our genetic make up, he chose where we grew up, the people around us, our loved ones, he set things up exactly the way it needed to be in order for you to transform into what we were pre-designed to be. The trials and tribulations are tests. We must be tested on what we’ve learned and to see how far we’ve come in life. They help make us stronger and wiser. We think that we know ourselves we’d like to think that we control our destiny. Most of us can’t even control our children let alone ourselves.

If we would just acknowledge that, God is in control of everything then we’d all be a lot less stressed. There’d be less anxiety, an end to constantly worrying and peace of mind. God does not put on us more than we can bear. We are his creation he knows how to take of us. So if you’re going through something and it seems like it is never going to end then go to God your creator and ask him to help you to endure and to understand. He can give you peace in the middle of the storm. He’s going to bring you out but not because you’re beat down and ready to give up. He’s going to do it because he brought you to it.

In his appointed time the inner man in you will stand up and declare that you can do all things through Christ whom strengthens you. That you are more than a conqueror, you will not be defeated. You will have a praise! A testimony to help draw souls and you will have the knowledge wisdom and understanding needed to edify the church. You will come out victorious.

Just remember that even Jesus endured trials and tribulations while he was on earth. But he knew he was of purpose and that as long as he held on to the promise of God that his reward would be in heaven.

Right now everything around you might seem like it’s all out of order and you have no idea how it will all come together. Now God can come in and show you that he’s a way maker and a problem solver. If you never had a problem how would you know that God is a problem solver.


In his appointed time you will be what God has chosen you to be in the meantime he’s only trying to gain your trust through faith. Lean unto him and not your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he will direct your path.

You’ve been in the driver seat long enough now allow God to drive and your destination will be eternal life with him in heaven. Be encouraged. Fight the God fight of faith and shame the devil.
