Did you know that there are only 11 days until Christmas? That means there are approximately 264 hours until we celebrate the birth of Christ.  That translates into approximately 15,840 minutes left to get done all the things we need to do before Christmas arrives.  As we begin the Christmas celebration, I want us to recognize the significance of one moment in time because timing is important.  One minute can make a difference if you arrive at your departure gate and see the plane you were supposed to be on pushing away from the gate; or you wake up late for work and discover that there was a fatal car crash on the road ahead of you that you missed only because you left a few minutes later than normal.

Galatians 4:4 says, “But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law.”  God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to this earth at just the right time.  That represents the miracle of the moment.  You were saved at the right moment and God will meet your need at the right moment.  Our concept of time is much different than God’s concept of time because heaven has no time restraints.  We worry about our problems and think that God has forgotten all about us only to find out that just at the right moment, our way of escape suddenly appears.  We have to recognize that God is in control and if we get that down in our spirit, we can enjoy our lives knowing that God will provide what we need exactly when we need it.

Don’t get so caught up in this holiday season that you miss the miracle of the moment.  Remember who we are celebrating and the reason He came to this earth.  Remember how one moment in time has changed your life and given you a destiny that you have yet to fulfill.  We love to plan what we are going to do today, tomorrow, next week and next month forgetting that nothing will come to pass without the grace of God upon our lives.  God has plans for you and I encourage you to make sure that your plans line up with God’s will for your life.  Look for the miracle that God has planned for you this day and thank Him for it.

Something to think about; there are 3 things in life that once gone will never come back – time, words and opportunity. Make the most of each one so that you will have no regrets.  Each one could contain a miracle just for you.
