Timing

Timing 
Pastor Blake Hanson | 5.11.22

 

The Problem: We want to God’s timing.

 

1 Thessalonians 5:1–11 (NLT)

1 Now concerning how and when all this will happen, dear brothers and sisters, we don’t really need to write you. 

2 For you know quite well that the day of the Lord’s return will come unexpectedly, like a thief in the night. 

3 When people are saying, “Everything is peaceful and secure,” then disaster will fall on them as suddenly as a pregnant woman’s labor pains begin. And there will be no escape. 

4 But you aren’t in the dark about these things, dear brothers and sisters, and you won’t be surprised when the day of the Lord comes like a thief. 

5 For you are all children of the light and of the day; we don’t belong to darkness and night. 

6 So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded. 

7 Night is the time when people sleep and drinkers get drunk. 

8 But let us who live in the light be clearheaded, protected by the armor of faith and love, and wearing as our helmet the confidence of our salvation. 

9 For God chose to save us through our Lord Jesus Christ, not to pour out his anger on us. 

10 Christ died for us so that, whether we are dead or alive when he returns, we can live with him forever. 

11 So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.

 

How we handle God’s timing… 
1) Be .  

1 Thessalonians 5:3 (NLT)

3 When people are saying, “Everything is peaceful and secure,” then disaster will fall on them as suddenly as a pregnant woman’s labor pains begin. And there will be no escape.

 

2) Stay . 

Isaiah 60:1–4 (ESV)

1 Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. 

2 For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the Lord will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you. 

3 And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. 

4 Lift up your eyes all around, and see; they all gather together, they come to you; your sons shall come from afar, and your daughters shall be carried on the hip.

 

3) Know , not a date. 

1 John 5:20 (ESV)

20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
