God’s perfect timing – Dr. Paul Dhinakaran

“The Lord knows how to rescue the godly from their trials.” (2 Peter 2:9)
Dear friend, II Peter 2:9 is the promise word for today. “The Lord knows how to rescue the godly from their trials.” The Lord knows you – your sacrifice and your faithfulness. He knows when and how to rescue you, who is a godly person. Many times, you may wonder why God is silent. When evil comes, you may wonder why God is silent. When people have risen up and are talking evil against you, you may question why God has not stretched forth His hand. Yes my friend, God always works on time.

When the three Hebrew men were thrown into the fire, God appeared as the fourth man on time and saved them. The king bowed down watching this and acknowledged that the God of the three Hebrew men is the God of all people. When Daniel was thrown into the lion’s den for praying to God, God’s angel came at the right time and bound the mouths of the lions. He may have cried why God did not save him from going into the lion’s den. Even the king cried so. However, God had the right time and knew how to rescue His godly people; and today the life of Daniel brings faith to millions of people.
God knows how to rescue you. Trials may come; but in I Corinthians 10:13, we read that “God will provide a way out so that you can endure it.” He knows when to do it and how to do it, because He knows you as His child. That is what The Bible says in
I Corinthians 8:3: “If any one loves God, he is known by God.” Yes my beloved friend, God knows your love for Him, and He knows when and how to rescue you from your trials. He is your life and your resurrection. Let this be the day of your rescue.
Prayer:
My loving heavenly Father,

Thank you for today’s promise. Thank you Lord because you know me. I firmly believe that you will rescue me at the right time and give me open doors after my trials.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
