When the Time Comes

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.

1 Peter 5:6

There will come a time—maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow—but in God’s perfect timing, when all the things you have been crying out to Him for will be answered. The doors you’ve been knocking on will finally open, and the long nights you’ve endured will make sense. The prayers you whispered in tears will turn into praises shouted with joy.

But when that moment comes—when God lifts you up—don’t forget to look back and give thanks. Don’t let success make you forget the One who gave it. Keep your heart grounded in humility and your feet steady on the path of purpose.

Remember that God didn’t bless you just for you to enjoy the fruit; He blessed you so you can also be a blessing.

You might be the very answer to someone else’s prayer. Maybe your story of breakthrough is the encouragement someone needs. Maybe your provision is the hand someone is waiting for. Let God use you.

Don’t just be a receiver—be a vessel.

So while you wait, remain faithful. And when the time comes, remain grateful. Because when God lifts you up, it’s not just for your benefit—but for His glory and the good of others.
