God is Never Late and God is Never Wrong





Bible Verse:  For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”  Jeremiah 29:11


Song:    Good Good Father by Chris Tomlin


 I knew from an early age, probably around 13 or 14, that I wanted to be married.  I wanted a husband that loved God, and would love me as Christ loved His church.  A man who sees me as God sees me:  good, deep, lovely, alluring, and is captivated by my beauty, not just my outward beauty, but my soulful beauty. 

 I waited and waited and waited.  I dated a few frogs – but no prince ever emerged.  I cried out to God – am I not worthy of a husband, maybe you don’t want me to be married?  Why is this not happening?  I was so very impatient, I really, really wanted a husband!  I knew that what I was asking for aligned with the Word of God, I knew the desires of my heart were not going away so surely, they must be from God!  When we desire something that deeply and it aligns with the Word, it is a God thing!

Yes, I did get married (at the age of 30).  I married a man who loved God – loved me deeply- found me alluring and was captivated.  Richard and I have been married for 23 years now and I love him more today than the day I married him.  God was not late and God was not wrong.  He knew the plans He had for me, He didn’t just say those plans, He declared them!!!!

 Sisters, do not be faint of heart – whatever desires God has placed in your heart, whether for a husband, a child, a career, a ministry…. whatever you are desiring, God can provide.  You see, like it says in the song Good Good Father, “I’ve seen many searching for answers far and wide; but I know we’re all searching for answers only you provide; because you know just what we need before we say a word – You’re a good, good father…It’s who you are…. because you are perfect in all your ways.”  You see, God is never late and God is never wrong.


 Heavenly Father, thank you for being our good, good Father – for DECLARING over us that you have plan for every aspect of our lives.  Please continue to give us patience if we are in a season of waiting.   We stand in a posture of worship Lord, as we wait, knowing you are never late and never wrong.  Amen
