About this episode
God is working something out in your life. And while it seems to be taking entirely too long for you, you can be assured his plan of deliverance and completion will happen in his pre-appointed divine timing. His plan for you will not fail. It will not be too late.
Our God holds all time and power in his mighty hands. He has always seen the end from the very beginning. Nothing is impossible for him. And when he speaks a promise over you, that promise will come to complete fulfillment. Guaranteed. You can rest your weary soul in his guaranteed promises while you wait.
The Israelites waited for 430 years for deliverance from their slavery in Egypt. I don’t know how long you’ve been waiting for whatever you’ve been waiting on, but my guess is it’s probably not quite been 430 years for you. So here’s what you need to know, my sister – your wait isn’t too long for God’s timeline. He hasn’t given up on his promise for you. It’s not too late. He still holds the precise MOMENT of completion in his hand. God is making a way to that moment and you will arrive in his perfect timing.
430 years of waiting for freedom, all while God worked every detail together to bring the Israelites moment to reality. Freedom was always on its way to them. Their path out was always in the making. Their long wait was always one day closer to being over, until finally the day came. We read about their day in Exodus 12: 40-42, “The people of Israel had lived in Egypt for 430 years. In fact, it was on the last day of the 430th year that all the Lord’s forces left the land. On this night the Lord kept his promise to bring his people out of the land of Egypt.”
Oh my gosh, do you see that? It was on the exact LAST DAY of the 430th year of their captivity that the Lord led every last one of them out of Egypt to freedom. God had himself declared they would not be there for a single day into the 431st year and he made sure of it.
Time matters to God. He has set divine boundaries on trials and struggles and without us even knowing, we’re divinely protected from our hardships continuing for a single moment beyond his will. Where God says it will end, it will end. And my friend, he knows exactly when this struggle will end for you.
He already knows when this hardship will come to a close for you. He already holds the future day when you wake up for the last time to this problem. He has already aligned the moment when you will walk out of this free, whole, healed, and renewed. That moment is coming! God’s decisive moment of deliverance for you.
But for now, you may be waiting. You may be waking up to another day with the problem still looming over you. But do not lose hope that your loving heavenly Father has already set the boundary for you and he’s leading you right to the day when you walk out of this free. Free from this hurt. Free from this hardship. Free from this unfair struggle. You will be free.
