God's time is the fullness of time.

"Jesus began speaking in the synagogue, saying: “Today this Scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing.” And all spoke highly of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth." (Luke 4: 21....30).

Sunday 30th January 2022, in the 4th Week in Ordinary Time.

Two words capture my interest in the key Scripture for today: TODAY, FULFILLED. On the Sabbath in the Synagogue in Nazareth, Jesus opened the Scriptures to read from Isaiah the job description of the expected Messiah. Then He rolled up the scroll and sat down. Then Jesus said:  “Today this scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing.” Let us consider our keywords TODAY and FULFILLED.

#1 TODAY:
Just as every human being has his birthday, so does a prophecy has its fulfillment Day. That Day is called in Scripture the Fullness of time. "There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens." (Ecclesiastes 3: 1).

At the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple, the Prophet and Prophetess Simeon and Anna mysteriously appeared in the Temple on the Day of the Presentation.
A Day of Fulfillment is the Day a prayer, desire and promise is fulfilled.

#2. FULFILLED:
What are the Todays in your life? Example: first job, wedding day, first child, first car, first home, etc. All the Todays are days of Fulfillment of God's promises.
What promises are you waiting their fulfillment today? Write down the promises in bold letters and put them on the wall in your bedroom where you can see them every day. Don't forget to put the date on each. "For the vision [promise] is a witness for the appointed time, a testimony to the end; it will not disappoint. If it delays, wait for it, it will surely come, it will not be late." (Cf Habakkuk 2: 2 - 3).

The Day the Lord Jesus healed my sick heart in July 2021 was a Day of Fulfillment for me. I have many Days of Fulfillment but July 31st 2021 is exceptional.

God is faithful to every single promise He makes and every desire He causes in your heart. Every promise has its Day of Fulfillment. In the fullness of time, God makes everything beautiful. (Cf Ecclesiastes 3: 11).
