Is Time...

There is a common sense among Christians that God moves slowly. And often that is true, especially when we are waiting for Him to answer a prayer. Yet there are many instances in scripture when God made a move very quickly.
“The people grabbed their bread dough before it had risen, bundled their bread bowls in their cloaks and threw them over their shoulders. They baked unraised cakes with the bread dough they had brought out of Egypt, but hadn’t raised, they’d been rushed out of Egypt and hadn’t time to fix food for the journey.” Ex. 12:34,39
The children of Israel had lived in Egypt for 430 long years, and the latter ones as slaves. Then Moses began his work to pry free from Pharaoh’s hand. But despite nine attempts, there was no sign that Pharaoh was softening, nor any sense of impending release. But after Moses brought that 10th fateful judgment, and most of Egypt's’ first born sons died in their sleep, the dam broke. The Egyptians woke up the Hebrews in the night and ushered them out. Israel didn’t even have time to prepare food for travel. Here’s the point; God prepares definite chapter changes for us. But I have observed we seldom see it coming. But when God is ready to switch gears in our lives, it switches fast. From one day to the next the entire universe seems to see us differently, and we see a different kind of freedom. Don’t be one of those who are so addicted to the status quo that you can’t expect God to change a chapter or ever hear him say, ITS TIME! ~verlon
