God’s Perfect Timing
Saturday, Dec. 14, 2024
Bible Verse:
“But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son to be born of a woman, so that he would redeem those under the law, so that we would be adopted as sons.”
– Galatians 4:4-5 (EHV)
Devotion:
Have you ever had to wait for just the right moment? Maybe you’ve waited for cookies to cool, for fireworks to light up the sky, or for your birthday party to start. Waiting can feel like forever, but it’s worth it when the perfect time comes!
That’s what God did when He sent Jesus. He didn’t send Him too early or too late—He sent Him at the exact right moment to save the world. God’s timing is always perfect, even if we don’t understand it. So while we wait for Christmas, and for Jesus to come again, we can trust that God’s plans are always right on time.
Questions:
Why did God wait for the “set time” to send Jesus?
How does it feel to know God’s timing is always perfect?
What are you waiting for this Advent season, and how can you trust God?
Prayer:
Dear God, thank You for sending Jesus at just the right time to save us. Help us to trust Your timing and remember that Your plans are always perfect. Amen.
Activity Idea:
Make a clock craft out of a paper plate and talk about how God’s timing is always perfect. Write “God’s Timing” on the clock as a reminder.
Full Bible Reference:
“But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son to be born of a woman, so that he would redeem those under the law, so that we would be adopted as sons. Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts to shout, ‘Abba! Father!’ So you are no longer a slave, but a son. And if you are a son, then you are also an heir of God through Christ.”
– Galatians 4:4-7 (EHV)
