350 Women Reach More than 7,000 with the Gospel

Think about God’s perfect timing of this evangelism effort for a moment. No one could have anticipated a pandemic. No one could have predicted a global quarantine stopping social gatherings. God knew what was ahead, and He led the women to go to cities and remote villages with His great invitation. Yes, this outreach was God’s perfect timing placed on the calendar. God holds time in His hand (Ps. 31:15).

Interestingly, there was an unusual event as a man began to shout at the All In Ethiopian Disciple-Making Conference. You can read the article here. Now looking back, it’s incredible to see how God’s perfect timing was working at this moment.

Three times in the Old Testament, God is called the Ancient of Days (Daniel 7:9, 13, 22). These passages clearly refer to God as the Supreme Being, emphasizing the idea that the LORD is eternal. When God is referred to in this way, He is saying He existed before time began. The expression literally means “before days were.” God knows all our days because He is the Creator of them.

When Jesus arrived, He proclaimed Himself as the Alpha and Omega (Rev. 1:8, 11, 21:6). This expression used by the Greeks of His day referred to the first and last letters of their alphabet. It was a way to denote comprehensiveness. Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our faith. Just as the Old Testament reveals God as “the first and the last” (Isaiah 44:6), Jesus is the beginning and the end—eternally.

God knows our days because He is the originator and the finisher of them. He knows the path that you’re on. He knows the struggles you endure. And you are not alone in them. If you’re in Christ, He is always working for your good (Rom. 8:28-29).
