“But when the fullness of time was come, God sent forth his Son” (Galatians 4:4).

 God is always on time. He seldom is early in our way of thinking. He never is late. His plan and His purpose are always carried out exactly on time. Maggie had driven bus for over twenty years. She was the recipient of many awards citing her on time accomplishments. Sitting behind the wheel of the huge passenger bus, Maggie’s route covered the territory from one state into another. Through the potential of lake effect snow, road construction, twists and turns through some hilly sections, Maggie was faithful and usually on time. One such day would be the exception. It would seem like every obstacle that could be thrown in her way, would happen that day. As she pulled into the terminal area, Maggie picked up the microphone and announced to her passengers that they were now arriving at the downtown Buffalo terminal. She said, “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your patience. It is with my apologies that we are arriving forty-five minutes late today. But for those of you who have been watching over my shoulder, you will know that between the weather and other drivers, they interfered with our on time arrival.” A lady seated right behind her leaned forward and said to her, “Honey, only the Lord is always on time.” Maggie thought about that reminder. She remembered reading in her devotions recently about in the fullness of time God sent forth his Son. She smiled and silently said, “Thank you, Lord, for being on time.”

 For today: Thank the Lord that He will be on time today in all that He does.
