In the Course of Time

Listen to the Audio

In 2 Samuel 7 God promises to make David's name great, give him rest from all his enemies, to establish his house, and that his house and kingdom would endure forever. Then is 2 Samuel 8:1 and 10:1 the phrase "In the course of time," is used to describe how things began to happen.

God gave David some amazing promises that came to pass in the course of time. Time is a course, it is full of twists, turns, obstacles, and most importantly change. Change is guaranteed in life and we can fight it or embrace it. 

The Hebrew word that is used for "in the course of time," is Hayah which means... Came to pass, to be or become. 

Hayah indicates something that is changing and dynamic. Time and change are a gift God has given us in this world, but why? I believe he gave us time and change because he doesn't want us to stay the way we are. We all have room to grow and expand to become more like him, which is why he gives us time and change so that in the course of time it comes to pass that we become more like him. 

As we enter into the fall season, it is often a time when God starts moving things around and changing things. This can often look scary, but remember if change starts happening, it is more than likely God bringing something to pass in your life. 

I am praying for you. 

Daniel
