God Is Always Right on Time

 God Is Always Right on Time

“The vision will still happen at the appointed time. It hurries toward its goal. It won’t be a lie. If it’s delayed, wait for it. It will certainly happen. It won’t be late.”

Habakkuk 2:3 (GW)

Habakkuk 2:3 (GW)


God is never in a hurry, and he’s never late.

He’s always on time.


God’s timing is perfect, even when we can’t understand it. We’ll never fully understand God’s timing because God exists on a different wavelength. Because he is timeless, he has a different view of time.

The Bible talks about God’s understanding of time in 2 Peter 3:8. It says, “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” (NIV).

Does that sound like the way you treat time? It might feel like a thousand years when I’m waiting for a meal sometimes, but we humans don’t think in those terms.

God’s timelessness has big implications for your life. When God created you, he put a dream in your heart. Most people start off with a big vision and a big goal. They have some kind of dream or plan or project for their life. 

What vision has God given you? Over the years I’ve discovered that while everybody tends to start off early in life with a vision, as time goes on, more and more people give up on their dream before it’s accomplished. The reason is often because it doesn’t happen fast enough.

Maybe you have had your dream battered. Maybe you have had your dream broken. Or maybe, out of discouragement and disappointment, you have buried your dream. You’ve given up on it. 

God doesn’t want you to do that. If God gave you a dream for your life, it will happen. It just has to happen on his timetable, not yours.

God says this about your dream: “The vision will still happen at the appointed time. It hurries toward its goal. It won’t be a lie. If it’s delayed, wait for it. It will certainly happen. It won’t be late” (Habakkuk 2:3 GW).

When I started Victoria Academy when I was 25 years old, I was in a hurry to get everything done fast. But God said to me the same thing he will say to you with your dream: “No, it’s not all going to happen right now. But slowly, steadily, the vision will be fulfilled.” 

I want you to remember this powerful truth: God is never early in your life. He is never late in your life.

God is always right on time.

Cherish The Present

No one lives forever; One day, we all must face the inevitable end. While your loved ones are still by your side, Cherish them, care for them, and give them your time. Crying after they are gone won't compare To the joy of laughing together while they are still here. လူတိုင်း အမြဲအသက်မရှင်ဘူး တစ်နေ့တော့ သေရမှာကြီးပဲ ကိုယ်ချစ်ရတဲ့သူတွေအနားမှာ ရှိနေသေးရင် တန်ဖိုးထားပါ ဂရုစိုက်ပါ အချိန်ပေးပါ သေသွားမှ ငိုနေတာထက်စာရင်  ရှင်နေတုန်းအတူရယ်နေရတာ ပိုကောင်းတယ်

How to be Wise in Relationships

“Any fool can start arguments; the honourable thing is to stay out of them.” Proverbs 20:3 (GNT) Wise people are peacemakers, not troublemakers. Wise people don’t carry a chip on their shoulders. They’re not always looking for a fight. And they don’t intentionally antagonize other people. The fact is, if you’re around someone for any length of time, you’ll figure out what irritates them. Then you may file that information in the back of your mind as a tool to use when you get into an argument. When the person says something that hurts, offends, or slights you in any way, you may pull out the information you filed away and use it against them. You push the hot button. And it works every time! You know what the Bible calls this kind of behaviour? Stupid! It doesn’t get you any closer to resolution or help your relationship. In fact, it hurts the relationship. It’s not wise. Proverbs 20:3 says, “ Any fool can start arguments; the honourable thing is to stay out of them ” (GNT). We...

Is Gossip Destroying Your Relationships?

 “A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy person keeps a secret.” - Proverbs 11:13 (NIV) Is Gossip Destroying Your Relationships? We tend to think of gossip as one of those “little” sins. But when God talks about gossip, he puts it on the list with things like sexual immorality and murder. Why? Because it is so destructive to relationships. Gossip can tear apart friendships, families, and churches. When you gossip, you talk about a situation with somebody who is neither a part of the problem nor a part of the solution. If we’re honest, gossiping often makes us feel a little more important at somebody else’s expense. We’re talking about their hurts and their problems to make us feel like we’re morally superior to them. That’s the danger and the hurt of gossip.  There’s a story in the Old Testament about a family that struggled with gossip. Moses had siblings named Miriam and Aaron who got caught up gossiping about him. So God called all three of them to come see him. H...
