God Is Always Right on Time
“…knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.”
1 Peter 1:18-19

Ponder This
When Jesus spoke in parables, He did so not only to reveal but also to conceal. He knew when to share and when to guard. His timing was intentional. Jesus knew the time to reveal the treasure He had. He timed it all perfectly. He revealed the treasure, covered it back up again, and went to redeem that treasure. He’s the One who paid the price to buy the field of Matthew 13:44.
Jesus purchased the field with His own blood. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son” (John 3:16). He is the One who covered that treasure. He’s the One who’s coming to reveal the treasure, to redeem the treasure, and to reclaim the treasure. What does that mean for us? Everything’s on schedule; God’s timing is not off. He knows exactly what He is doing.
- When has it been hard for you to trust God’s timing? Where are you waiting on God right now?
- How does God’s intentional timing encourage you?

Real Truth Never Changes
Real truth never changes, and the truth about government is that it is God who ordains it, leaders who are responsible for it, and citizens who are accountable to it. The privilege of being called Americans comes with significant responsibilities—to God, to each other, and to the world.
