Today’s Devotional Scripture: To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: - Ecclesiastes 3:1 KJV

The Message For Today (January 23, 2026):

***Audio Version For Paid members: The On-Time God Audio 438

There is a set time for your life. When someone asks you, what is your five-year plan, or where do you plan to be in five years, they’re asking for you to operate in the world’s methodology of planning the future you want to have. They’re telling you that you can just decide, and it’s just going to work, and it’s via your own strength, and your own skill, and your own power.

Now, it is well to be a good steward, and it is well to plan, and to have a vision that goes beyond this moment, but we cannot control the outcome.

When you recognize in your heart that God is The On-time God, and that He doesn’t mistake here for tomorrow. He hasn’t mistaken yesterday for today. He doesn’t mix up the time. God knows the plans He has for you to give you a future and a hope. He knows the plans, and He knows the timing for every purpose under the heavens.

We see in scripture that Jesus was days late after Lazarus died, but there was a purpose in the plan to waiting a couple more days, so that by the time He got there at the four-day mark, they would know that by now the body is already stinking (John 11:6, 17, 39 KJV). There was a purpose for the delay. There was a reason He waited. He loved Lazarus, but God stretched Him in his faith.
