GOD-TRACKING IS WAITING AND WATCHING FOR GOD’S PURPOSE TO RIPEN IN HIS TIME

Romans 8:28
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

I have a pear tree in my back yard that produces the most succulent large pear. Early spring, it bursts in to vibrant blossom. Leaves then appear and soon I notice small green fruit beginning to form. I wait and watch with anticipation for the tiny pears to grow and grow until finally, they become ripe and ready to be plucked. However, I prefer to wait further until the fruit to falls from the tree, in fear of picking it before it’s fully ripe. Yet, I never know the exact moment each pear will fall. Each fruit becomes ready in season but only falls to the ground when its time has come.

Approximately 2017 years ago a young Nazarene girl called, Mary fell pregnant outside of wedlock. The Holy Spirit had come upon her and she had miraculously conceived a baby boy. By God’s grace, Joseph, her betrothed, remained by her side. For almost nine months she and Joseph watched and waited for the birth of the son they were to call, Jesus. But then the unexpected happened, Caesar Augustus called for a censes to be taken of the Roman Empire. Everyone needed to return to his town of origin to be registered. Joseph, a descendent of king David, was born in Bethlehem so he and his very pregnant wife embarked on the long journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem. By the time they arrived, her time had come. Neither parent knew the moment of birth; neither could precisely plan for it, only God knew the exact moment Jesus would be born. Yet, God timed it perfectly so that Jesus would be born in the town of Bethlehem as foretold by the prophet Micah. The season was right but only God knew when Jesus’ time had come.

Just as God the Father orchestrated the circumstances that brought Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem at the right season for the birth of Messiah, so God will arrange the circumstances of your seasons for the birth of his designs in your life. Just as I choose to watch and wait for the fruit to fall from my pear tree rather than plucking it before it’s ripe, be encouraged to watch and wait for God’s purposes to come to fruition in his time, rather than jumping the gun to pick the fruit before it’s ripe. God’s plan for you will mature in season but will only fall to the ground when its time has come.
