God Is an On-Time God is a part of a quote I read in Kelly Balarie’s book Take Every Thought Captive, and I’m pondering it with you today.
For Lent 2025, I’ll be writing new blog posts every day. I’m writing for just five unedited minutes on a quote of the day to deepen our faith in this Lenten season.
Day 28 of Lent 2025 – April 1
I was the book launch manager for Kelly Balarie’s Take Every Thought Captive in 2023. I read her powerful book, as I always do with my clients’ books, and it resonated strongly with me.
I’m glad I reread my highlights from it this year. This quote about God’s timing is good for me to remember. I feel like I’m in a long season of waiting for God to redeem all that the locusts have eaten in my life. I want him to rebuild goodness in my relationships, finances, and faith – areas that have been shaken in the past three years.
Kelly’s quote reminds me to trust in God’s timing. I also think about Joseph, the Bible person with whom I most closely identify. In one moment, he was lifted from prison and set into a high position of authority. The Bible even records that he took time for a quick shave (Gen. 41:14). I think about Joseph shaving off his long beard as a sign of shedding off the old when he was getting ready to step into the new. Actually, he stepped into the prophecy God had spoken over him 13 years prior to that moment (Gen. 37:5-11).
Here’s another great quote from Take Every Thought Captive:
Disappointment makes us feel blocked, but trust in God delivers hope that good can come out of bad.
As I wait for God to fulfill promises he spoke to me in the Sunbeams chapter of this book I wrote, I must intentionally fight disappointment and impatience by focusing on hope. This builds my trust in God and heals my relationship with him. I’m grateful for God’s Word which gives me hope, along with all the Christian books I read for my edification.
