Fullness of time

“But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.”

Galatians 4:4

All mother’s know the importance of the word “fullness”. Carrying their baby in their womb and knowing that God is at work preparing the baby and the baby is taking shape and form… there is a fullness of time to come and at that point yes, by His grace its time to hold that precious baby in your hands :)

For those of us who love cooking (or in my case like watching cooking shows ) you notice that for every preparation there is fullness of time. And it is different for different dishes. It might be the same ingredient, say for example an egg . But depending on the final dish, the very boiling of an egg is different. And some times that quarter boiled, half boiled or completely boiled egg is not even the final outcome. Its further used to drive some other ingredients into becoming this now newly transformed dish (sometimes you just cant even make out there was an egg). The chef knows what he/she is doing. They know the end result and they hence know the fullness of time. You definitely don’t want a messy quarter boiled egg when your end result is to have diced hard boiled eggs .

End result – We are now sons and daughters of the most High ! God knew when the fullness of time had come. He knew that was the moment in human history. And when it came, He sent forth Jesus. He was born under the law to redeem us who were under the law ! Wow isn’t that amazing !

Is there something that you are waiting on the Lord for ? Are you getting tired or weary of waiting ? Remember its while waiting that your strength is renewed ! (Isaiah 40:31) Be encouraged today that there is a preparation that’s going on… Be encouraged that when the fullness of the time comes , God will cause what He has planned to happen because He is the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last , the Beginning and the End.

God Bless You
