See Him In All Time, He Saves You All the Time

"My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me." (Psalm 31: 15)

All our times are in His hand.

No matter what we face, no matter what we have done, and no matter what besets from behind or in front, we need to rest in the truth that none of it has bypassed God, and that He is in charge and in control:

"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." (Revelation 1: 8)

He is the First Word and the Last Word:

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1: 1)

He is the last word on every sin, sickness, and setback in our lives:

"When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost." (John 19: 30)

He finished the work that His Father sent Him to do:


"I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do." (John 17: 4)

and

"Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; (Hebrews 1: 3)

He purged our sins, all of them (Colossians 2: 13)

His blood continuously cleanses us, too (1 JOhn 1: 7)

When we understand how full and perfect is the work  which Jesus did, and when we understand that Jesus is He who has been from the beginning (1 John 2: 12-14), that He declares the end from the beginning in all things:

Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:" (Isaiah 46: 10)

That time is no object to Him:

"For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night." (Psalm 90: 4)

Revealed in the New Testament, we find:

"But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." (2 Peter 3: 8-9)

Time is not an issue to God, and He has made it a non-issue for our sakes, so that no matter what obstacles we face, we can know and believe that He is causing all things to work on our behalf (Romans 8: 28")

Do not worry about the enemies you face. Know and believe that He who is from the beginning is taking care of all things for you, and He saves us all the time in all times.
