Perfect Timing. What does this mean?
Let's consult our friend Google.
per·fect
adjective
ˈpərfikt/
- Having all the required or desirable elements, qualities, or characteristics; as good as it is possible to be.
tim·ing
noun
ˈtīmiNG/
- The choice, judgment, or control of when something should be done.
So, this means that perfect timing is "having all the required or desirable element, qualities, or characteristics accordingly." ( It's my definition. :) ) Well, this is a preaching appreciation so I would like to go to the word that was preached: Luke 1:5-17

I want to thank God first for allowing my mere mind to understand His word. Without the knowledge He gave me, I might interpret and understood the word by 50% or maybe less.

The story is about Zechariah and Elizabeth's prayer about having a child. Both of them were "righteous in the sight of God" (v.6) and they obey and observes God's commands. They were righteous but "they were childless because Elizabeth was not able to conceive, and they were both very old" (v.7).

When Zechariah's division was on duty, God made a perfect timing to answer Zechariah and Elizabeth's prayer -- to have child. Zechariah was chosen by the lot "to go into the temple of the Lord and burn incense" (v.9). God sent an angel to Zechariah and "the angel appeared to him at the right side of the altar of incense" (v.11). When he saw the angel, he was in fear but the angel said to him: "Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard" (v.13)

I appreciate the preaching because God is telling us how to wait for the perfect time even though the things that we wanted are past due our expected date. In the Scriptures, they will name their son John and "he will be a joy and delight to them, and many will rejoice because of his birth" (v.14) God's plans are perfect -- they will come in the perfect place and time, there are no flaws, these are all for the good. God's plans goes according to his will and we, humans, cannot change what God has planned for us -- even though we choose the wrong option, He will not change what He planned for us because He is a loving God. I hope that I refreshed you with God's word and I pray that you will learn to wait on what God promised for you. He will never fail. God Bless!~
