Think about those words from today’s Bible reading for a moment. “When the set time had fully come, God sent his Son.” Throughout human history, God had a specific, precise timetable for when the Savior of the world would enter the world. It would not be a minute too late or too soon. But until the moment of his birth arrived, God’s people throughout the centuries had had to wait.

You and I have a real luxury. We have the luxury of reading exactly how God fulfilled his promise of a Savior. Believers who lived before Jesus’ coming could only wait and trust. But wait and trust they did. And their trust was not misplaced, “for when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son.” God kept his promise.

There are times in our lives when the noblest work we can do as Christians is not something heroic or dramatic. For we please our Lord when, in the difficulties and disappointments of day-to-day life, we wait for him, when we trust his promise to work everything out for our good. When we do that, our trust is well placed because the God who delivered on his promise to wash us clean of our every sin is the One we can trust for absolutely everything.

Prayer:

Lord, empower me by your Spirit to wait. For I know that you will fulfill all your promises to me in your own good time. In the name of Christ, I pray. Amen.
