God is
always right on schedule.
Sometimes in
our lives we attempt to run ahead of God, or lag behind – but in the end we
always find out we cannot do either – and the reason is because God is ALWAYS
right on time.
Imagine if
you could control time the way God controls time. There would never be anything
outside or apart from that schedule, because you would always be in complete
and total control of all things taking place in that schedule.
The God we
serve is a God of order and design and intent, and so His schedule is always in
place, and it is always right on time. To even imagine anything contrary to
this is illogical and ultimately harmful to your existence.
This is why
Jesus wept so upon His approach to Jerusalem. Everything in His life was
playing out exactly according to God’s schedule, and the people – think of it -
God’s chosen people – were completely
unaware of what was taking place in their midst because they were unaware of
God’s schedule.
This would
have a HUGE effect upon the future of the nation of Israel. It wasn’t as if God
had not given them fair warning – or at least so much evidence of His coming to
earth that He couldn’t be missed unless you were deliberately not paying
attention. (But this should come as no surprise to us, as today people SHOULD
know all about Jesus and the timing of His life on earth – and even those who
spend a lifetime in His church have no clue about any of the prophetic events
unfolding before their very lives.)
The result
is tragedy of epic proportions. Who is this Man on the back of the donkey? Why
is He riding a donkey? Why is this happening today? “Look, everyone is praising
Him, I wonder why? Maybe we should join in?”
That’s the
attitude that would result in death and destruction for the children of Israel.
In 70AD, right on schedule, Roman General Titus would come and destroy Israel
and Jerusalem, 1.5 million would die, and Israel would disappear off the map
for 2000 years.
All because
they did not know the time of their visitation from God. How about you?
