Timing of God
Timing of God
Esther 5:7-8 MSG
Esther answered, “Here’s what I want. If the king favors me and is pleased to do what I desire and ask, let the king and Haman come again tomorrow to the dinner that I will fix for them. Then I’ll give a straight answer to the king’s question.”

It is sad to see that many Christians are not sensitive to the timing of God. Often wrong decisions can cost us our tomorrow. In this podcast Pastor Priji talks about the timing of God from the revelation he received from the book of Esther 5:7-8.
The book of Esther is about the life and story of a noble woman called Esther. Her life and the godly choices she made are exemplary to all of us.
The passage that we read today has a beautiful context to it. We see a woman who waited for the right time to do the right thing and it turned out to be a great success for her and her people.
With preparedness through fasting and prayer for a period of time, Esther confronts Haman and the king, and later we see how the enemy was completely shut down from all his plans.
Being sensitive to God’s timing is important. It could be on the various areas of our lives; could be marriage, while stepping into ministry or while finding a new job. Not having a sense of urgency is something worth considering.
Waiting on God’s timing and then taking necessary steps is what we need to do. By doing this, we will be people who are in sync with God’s timing. God’s timing is filled with goodness and favour.
We pray that you be a person who honours the timing of God in all the areas of your life like Esther did.
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
