INTRODUCTION
This message serves to inspire confidence that despite current struggles or setbacks, the right moment for success, joy and fulfillment are on the horizon
Look at the current state of the economy ( GDP per capita ), health, education, career and promotions, business, retirement, personal dreams, marriage, challenges in families, church vision and our nation
God’s word today will reinforce the belief that God’s plan for each person is good and will come to fruition

2. EXAMPLES
Abraham & Sarah waiting for the right time to give birth to a promised son.
Abram ( 80 yrs. ) and Sarah ( 70 yrs. ) were promised by God that they would have a son, thru whom Abraham’s descendants would be a great nation ( Gen 15:4-5 )
Taking matters into their own hands – Sarah suggested that Abraham have a child with her maid servant, Hager to fulfill God’s promise
Abraham at 86 yrs. agreed – they had a son named Ismael
At age 90, Sarah miraculously gave birth to Isaac, full filling God’s promise
Story teaches that God’s timing is often different from ours
Patience amidst uncertainty – struggle with impatience can lead to actions that are not aligned with God’s will e.g. birth of Ishmael
Despite their struggles – eventual obedience & trust in God’s promise was rewarded with birth of Isaac

CONT…EXAMPLES
Jesus turning water into wine at wedding in Cana of Galilee ( John 2: 1-11 ) – Jesus first recorded miracle
Demonstration of waiting for the Right Moment
Jesus initially responds to his mother by saying “My time has not yet come” ( John 2:4 )
Jesus told servants to fill 6 stone water jars with water
Indicates that he was aware of a divine timing beyond human expectation
Teaches us that there are moments when we must wait for the right time to act, even when the circumstances seem urgent
Encourages believers to trust in God’s perfect timing, act in faith and witness the joy and abundance that comes from following him
