“但到了时机成熟，神就差遣他的儿子，由女人所生，而且生在律法之下，”
加拉太书 4:4
“But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law,”
Galatians 4:4
God is always on time. We may think He's late, but He's not. Throughout Scripture we read about people becoming impatient with God’s timing.
The Israelites waited and waited for the promised Messiah. Some gave up hope. But Simeon and Anna did not. They were in the temple daily praying and waiting (Luke 2:25–26, 37). And their faith was rewarded. They got to see the infant Jesus when Mary and Joseph brought Him to be dedicated (vv. 27–32, 38).
When we become discouraged because God doesn't respond according to our timetable, Christmas reminds us in Galatians 4:4 that God’s timing is always perfect, and it is worth the wait.
Heavenly Father,
I confess that I become impatient and discouraged,
wanting answers to prayer in my own time and on my schedule.
Help me to wait patiently for Your timing in all things.
God’s timing is always right—wait patiently for Him.
