Ripe and Right

Ripe and Right

Scripture: “But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law”

– Galatians 4:4 (KJV)

“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.”

– Proverbs 25:11 (KJV)

There is something divine about timing, when things are not only ready but right. A fruit may look good from afar, but until it’s ripe, it’s not sweet. The same is true in your life. Some promises are in progress. Some doors are not closed, they’re just waiting for the ripening of your character, your wisdom, or your obedience.

To be ripe is to be ready, developed in trust, seasoned by waiting, and softened in surrender. To be right is to be aligned, your heart, your motives, and your spirit matching Heaven’s will.

God is not in a hurry. When the fulness of time comes, what is ripe will be revealed, and what is right will be released.

Reflection Question:

Is there an area of your life where you’ve been asking God, “Why not yet?” Could it be He is ripening you for what is rightfully yours?

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for divine timing. Help me not to rush ahead or lag behind. I choose to build my faith as You ripen and align my heart with what is right in Your sight. I trust that when the time is full, what You’ve prepared for me will not be delayed. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
