You are plonk bang in the middle of God's timeline.
It's easy to feel stuck in our life, between the failures of yesterday and the fears for tomorrow. We can lose our present to worry and fear. And yet, we are living in God's time.
- Before the worlds were formed, He knew you. Your days were planned before you had them. (Ephesians 2:10, Psalm 139:16)
- Two thousand years ago, He tucked you firmly into the work of Christ. You were buried and resurrected with Him and given newness of life before you even took your first breath. (Romans 6:3-5)
- Decades ago, it was Him who formed you in the matrix of your mother's womb. He set his seal on you and said, 'Child, you are mine.' (Psalm 139:15, Isaiah 43:1)
- When you took Christ into your heart, He filled you with his Spirit and adopted you into His family. You belong to Him, whether you feel it or not. Filled with Him and bestowed with all the privileges of the children of a God. (Ephesians 1:5, Romans 8:15, Galatians 4:6)
- Today, He is your I Am. Sufficient for the worries of this moment. A present help in trouble. Outside of time and always accessible; He is your now. (2 Corinthians 9:8, 2 Corinthians 12:9, Psalms 46:1)
- Tomorrow, He goes before you. And for every tomorrow after that. His strength will be there until your last breath. (Deuteronomy 31:8, Deuteronomy 31:6, Isaiah 41:10)
God has sealed you behind and in front, your timeline is held securely in His hands, in His will. There is not a day where you will be without Him. Not a breath even. There is not a place where you can flee from His presence, from His plan for your life.
Read Psalm 139 to understand exactly how precious you are to God, how intimately He knows you and how thoroughly He holds you.
You, my dear, are unequivocally and completely safe, nestled in the timeline of God.
'But I trusted in, relied on, and was confident in You, O Lord; I said, You are my God. My times are in Your hands.'
Psalm 31:14,15a
