Luke 1:69-72

He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago), salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us—to show mercy to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant.

I'm not back 100% yet, but I missed sharing with you each day from the Word! Today as I meditated on this passage again (I am a little further along since I haven't been writing) it continues to comfort me that God remembers His Word. He knows each thing He has promised and said in His Word. Zechariah could rejoice in the coming fulfilment of Jesus as the Messiah, because he knew the promises of God.

Look in the parentheses...it says LONG AGO! It had been a VERY long time since the words of the prophets had spoken about Jesus, but Zechariah knew that God would not forget His Words!

"You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. " Romans 5:6

I love that God is always right on time! He's not always on MY time...but looking at the history of my own life and timing...THANK GOODNESS! Because God sees all of time, He knows when "just the right time" came for Christ to die for us. What a great God we serve!

What things in your life are you having trouble trusting the timing of God's answers? Have you given up thinking that God will answer? Do you feel discouraged that God isn't answering in your timing?

Try to memorize Romans 5:6, because God knew just the RIGHT time for Christ to die for our sins...and we can be sure His timing for everything else is right on time too. Surrender your timing today and allow Him to guide your calendar, day timer, schedule, to do list, and your life today. He keeps His Word to us in HIS time...let's trust that today and allow Him to be the guide.
