God’s Perfect Timing
"So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released to kill a third of mankind." - Revelation 9:15
The sixth trumpet sounds, and a scene of unimaginable chaos unfolds. Four fallen angels, bound until this very moment, are released along with an army of 200 million. The devastation is staggering: one-third of humanity is killed in this war between the physical and spiritual realms. It’s a reminder of the seriousness of spiritual warfare and the immense power at work, both seen and unseen.
But even in the chaos, one truth stands out, God is in control. These angels aren’t released by accident. They are released by His command, at the exact hour, day, month, and year He ordained. This passage shows us that nothing happens outside of God’s timing. While this event is terrifying, it’s also a powerful reminder that God’s plan is always unfolding, right on schedule.
This truth challenges us, especially when life feels out of control. How often have you found yourself asking, “Why doesn’t God do something now?” When situations drag on, or answers seem delayed, it’s easy to grow impatient or doubt His plan. But God isn’t slow, and He’s never late. His concern isn’t just about time, it’s about timing.
God’s timing is purposeful. It’s building towards something greater than you can see right now. Maybe you’re in a season of waiting, wondering why the breakthrough hasn’t come or why the prayer hasn’t been answered. Let this passage remind you that God’s schedule is perfect, even when it doesn’t align with yours. He’s never early and never late. He’s always right on time.
Trusting His timing requires faith. It means letting go of the need to control and choosing to rest in His sovereignty. While you wait, keep seeking Him, keep praying, and keep trusting that He’s working behind the scenes in ways you can’t yet understand.
