The LORD God’s Timing
The LORD’s timing… is impeccable.
The LORD’s timing… is perfect.
The LORD’s timing… is done by His power.
(NASB) Exodus 12:51 “… the LORD brought the sons of Israel out of Egypt…”
The LORD brought the Hebrew slaves out of Egypt on time and in His timing.
Exodus 12:29-30 – at midnight, the firstborn of Egypt died.
Exodus 12:31-33 – Pharaoh told the sons of Israel to leave Egypt.
Exodus 12:34 – the Hebrew slaves left Egypt with their kneading bowls bound up in their clothes on their shoulders.
Exodus 12:35-36 – the slaves took the gold, silver and clothing the Egyptians gave them before that night, just as God told them.
Exodus 12:37-39 – they journeyed on foot – about 2 million men, women, children and a mixed multitude went with them. They took their flocks, herds and their bread without yeast, for they left hurriedly.
Exodus 12:40-41 – the timing fulfilled God’s words of prophecy after living in Egypt 430 years. Genesis 15:13
Exodus 12:42-49 – the law or ordinance of the Passover remembers this night.
Exodus 12:50-51 – the sons of Israel did what the LORD said to do. And they were delivered from slavery.
Whatever is going on in your life – the LORD’s timing is perfect. His timing always involves many people besides yourself.
The LORD God proves His timing and His words over and over. Are you listening to His warnings? Are you listening to His words of comfort and commands?
His plans for you have far-reaching implications, which He knows and you probably don’t.

“But as for me, I trust in You, O LORD,
I say, ‘You are my God.’
15 My times are in Your hand;
Deliver me from the hand of my enemies
and from those who persecute me.”
(NASB) Psalm 31:14-15
Trust the LORD for His perfect timing.
