For Time to Come - Kathi Macias

“Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and note it on a scroll that it may be for time to come, forever and ever.” Isaiah. 30:8

Do you ever feel like you’re spinning your wheels, running as fast as you can and getting nowhere? I sure do! As someone who feels called by God to “write the vision and make it plain,” it’s tough to spend more time collecting rejection notices than signing contracts.

But we all experience that sort of frustration and rejection, don’t we? Even when we know we are being faithful to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness—however that may read out in our personal lives—we can still find ourselves wondering if anything we’re doing serves any sort of purpose at all.

I can say that because I’ve “been there, done that” so many times I’ve lost count. I’ve sensed God steering me in a particular direction. I’ve prayed, responded, and prayed some more. And still there seems to be no lasting fruit.

Could it be that my vision is so limited I can’t perceive what God is doing? Absolutely! Though there are times God allows me to see at least a portion of the fruits of my labor, more often than not I am left to wonder if I missed God altogether. But then I read scripture like Isaiah 30:8 and Habakkuk 2:2, and I realize what I’m writing today may not be harvested until “time to come.” In fact, I may very well not see or understand God’s purposes for what He calls me to do on this earth until after I have departed this dying globe and gone home to be with Him—and that’s okay. Truly it is. For God calls us to be faithful today—only for today—and to leave the consequences and rewards of our obedience to Him.

“Every commandment which I command you today you must be careful to observe, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land . . . "

Be faithful today in whatever God calls you to do—write a sonnet, a play, a novel; plant a garden; sing to a child; take a meal to a shut-in—and He will see that it is “for time to come, forever and ever.”
