The Message For Today (May 5, 2026):
***Listen To Audio Version: A Matter of Time Audio 538
We live in a world where production, time management, and constant work are required to be accepted by the world. To be considered valuable, to be considered successful, and to be considered a success in your life to others requires production. It requires evidence in the natural. It requires the fruit of this world.
And sometimes it’s easy to fall into that trap. It’s easy for our families, for our husbands, for us, and for our children to fall into this trap of constantly working, constantly building, and constantly being on the move so that you seem successful and put together to everyone else.
But here in these three scriptures, we see something distinctly different. We see liberty from doing, liberty from constant work, and liberty from the pressure of production. We see in these scriptures that God works out all things in His time. Regardless of what we’re doing day by day, the Lord works out all things in his time.
Romans 8:28 supports that. It states:
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. - Romans 8:28 KJV
That verse of scripture doesn’t say all things work together for those who work very hard, or for those who are always getting things done. All things don’t work together just because you are forcing them to work or you are overworking yourself so that we can get a task list finished.
When you begin to walk with God, it is less about task lists and to‑do lists, and it’s more about presence with God. It’s more about being in His presence, trusting in His will, and walking in His way. When you are walking with God, God takes on the onus of the performance of the work. He takes on the onus and the authority for making the crooked ways straight.
It is the Lord who tells us which way to go.
It is He who guides our steps. It is the Lord who orders our steps. Not ourselves, not our strength, not our might, not our power, and not the number of hours we put in, but God and God alone.
And when walking with God, there are times of increased activity, and there are times of divine rest. And when you’re walking with Him from time to time and from season to season, trusting Him completely, you are walking in the finished work of God already. You are walking by faith and not by sight. You’re walking by faith and not by might, not by your own strength and power. It is the glory of the Lord that goes before you when you walk with God.
It is only a matter of time before you will see the finished work of God.
It is only a matter of time before you will see the promises which are yes and amen.
It is only a matter of time before the Lord will come forth in the promise, in the evidence, and in the fruit of the favor that is on your life.
The favor that walks with you in yes and amen, and the favor that walks with you when you’re walking with God. Because we know that all things work, and we know that God is more than able.
As we’re walking with God, everything that’s not like God is falling away. Every distraction, all anxiety, worry, fear, shame, doubt, insecurity; all of these things take a back seat and must bow to the glory of God in your life when you walk with God.
Walking with God opens up pain.
It opens up transformation.
It opens up breakthrough.
It opens up conviction.
But it also opens up peace, joy, love, glory, and favor.
The glory of the Lord is with you when you’re walking with God. The favor of God is with you when you follow Him. We see in Psalm 23 that walking with God has some unique benefits. Walking through the valley of the shadow of death and having no fear is a benefit. God preparing a table before you in the presence of your enemies is a benefit. Goodness and mercy following you all the days of your life is the benefit of you dwelling in the house of the Lord and following God all the days of your life.
These are the promises of God. It is the scripture. It is the goodness of God as we walk with him. No more worrying about the time. No more fear over deadlines. God makes all things beautiful in his time.
Closing Devotional Prayer
My Prayer for You:
Father, in the name of Jesus, thank you. Thank you for the grace and the glory. Thank you, God, for being Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. There is nobody like you, King of Glory.
I thank you for covering the mighty woman of God. I thank you for breaking everything that’s not like you. I thank you, Lord God, for the strong finish that the mighty woman of God is walking into. I thank you that her faith, O God, would arise.
And that as she begins to walk with you more intimately, closely, remaining in your presence, that all of the worries and all of the weight of yesterday will break away. Here and now, I pray for the morning to be set up in glory. I pray for the morning to be blessed in the name of Jesus, for you are the Lord our God, and there is nobody like you. I thank you, Lord, and I pray in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
