COMMITTING YOUR PLANS TO THE LORD (2)

Times Of Refreshing Daily Devotional

Date: Thursday, 9 January 2025

Focus: Trusting God’s Timing


Message: The new year is a time to surrender our plans and trust God to establish our steps.


One of the hardest parts of committing our plans to the Lord is trusting His timing. We often want immediate results, but God works in His perfect time. Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us that there is a season for everything under heaven. Delays and waiting periods are not signs of God’s absence but opportunities for Him to grow our faith and prepare us for His best.

When we commit our plans to God, we are also committing to trust His timeline. He knows what we need and when we need it. Trusting His timing means being patient when answers seem delayed and having faith that He is working behind the scenes for our good.


Scripture Reading:
Ecclesiastes 3:1 – “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.”


Refreshing for the Day:
So, beloved, reflect on times when God’s timing proved to be better than your own. Thank Him for those moments and ask for patience and faith as you trust Him with your plans this year. Stay Refreshed!


Note This:
God’s timing is never too early or too late. It is always perfect, designed for our growth and His glory.


Responsibility:
How can you practice patience and faith as you wait for God’s timing to fulfill your plans?


Prayer:
O Lord, thank You for Your perfect timing. Help me to trust You when I’m tempted to rush ahead or grow weary in waiting. Let my faith grow as I rely on You. In Jesus’ name, Amen!


Prophetic Declaration:
I declare that God’s timing is perfect, and as I wait on Him, He will fulfill every promise in His way and in His time. In Jesus’ name, Amen!


Bible Texts:

Ecclesiastes 3:1
