How long, Lord?

When will it happen? When will it be over? How long, Lord?

Even Jesus asked this question: ““And Jesus answered and said, “You unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you?”” (Matthew 17:17)

Your reality may be tough. You may be agonizing about the fix you are in.

Switch your view from your situation to the Timekeeper.

God, all-knowing, all-wise, all-powerful, has control of the clock. He will be right on time.

And at the end of four hundred and thirty years, to the very day, all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt.” (Exodus 12:41)

“On that day I will…” (For example, Ezekiel 29:21Hosea 1:5)

He knows what is happening to and around you. He promises to bring good out of whatever it is (Romans 8:28-29).

He controls the depth of the trial, and the length of the trial.

Fix your eyes on Jesus. (Hebrews 12:2)

Trust your almighty, loving Lord.
