These Things Come to Pass in Their Time

KATHY GABLER—“These things will come to pass . . . in their time,” was Gabriel’s answer to Zachariah.  The old priest had not known how to factor in God’s timing into his destiny and purpose.  God not only has a plan, He has a specific time-frame to manifest it.  Many of life’s frustrations come because we have no understanding of God’s TIMING for our gifts and callings.  God’s TIMING rarely flows within the confines of our logic or agenda.  Learning to recognize His TIMING can be the key to fulfilling our calling.  If we are out of sync with God’s timing, we need not expect confirmations. There is not anyone or anything positioned to confirm us along life’s path if we miss God-ordained appointments.


Is Walking in Purpose Easy?

Is walking in God-ordained purpose easy?  No, every biography of a known person in the Bible is far from easy.  However, if God be for us, What or Who can be against us? Can age deteriorate purpose? Can circumstances nullify purpose?  The enemy hopes you will think so. He hopes we will believe we are too weak, too old, too flawed or too unworthy to even have purpose.  The enemy cannot defeat your purpose nor keep God from positioning you in history, he can only hope you will climb off your horse and quit! (Eleventh excerpt from Kathy’s article “Positioned for Purpose”.)


The Next Horizon

May you reach the next horizon with strength to spare and may you rocket into
the heart of the God-ordained participation that awaits you beyond that horizon.
May you realize the knowing and joy and fulfillment of participating with our
Lord and His purposed-people over that horizon.

Jesus said, “You’re tied down to the mundane; I’m in touch with what is beyond
your horizons. You live in terms of what you see and touch.
I’m living on other terms.” (Jn.8:23, Msg)
