WHEN WE THINK, “IT’S TOO LATE” — GOD WHISPERS, “I STILL HAVE A PLAN.”
We’ve all been there. Standing in the aftermath of something broken — a missed opportunity, a failed relationship, a long delay — wondering if too much time has passed. Regret creeps in. Hope starts to shrink. And we start to believe the lie that it’s just… too late.
But God doesn’t operate on our timelines. He is not confined by clocks, calendars, or the expiration dates we place on our destiny. When we think it’s over, He’s just getting started. His Word says in Isaiah 60:22, “At the right time, I, the Lord, will make it happen.” Not when it’s convenient. Not when it makes sense. But at the right time — His time.
Think of Moses — 40 years in the wilderness before stepping into purpose. Or Sarah — a barren woman in her old age, chosen to birth a promise. Or Lazarus — four days dead when Jesus said, “Come forth.” That wasn’t too late. That was on time.
God’s plan is never canceled by delay. It’s never erased by detours. It’s never defeated by our doubts. Even when we give up on ourselves, He hasn’t given up on us. The delay may be divine. The detour may be necessary. The setback may be the setup. But the promise still stands.
So my beloved brothers and sisters, if you’re thinking, “It’s too late,” take a deep breath. Heaven is still speaking. Grace is still moving. And the One who authored your story before the foundation of this world is not finished turning the pages.
PRAY WITH ME:
Father God, thank You that You are never late. You don’t give up on me when I give up on myself. Even when I can’t see the way forward, You still have a plan. Help me release the fear of time and trust in Your perfect timing. Restore what feels lost. Redeem what feels wasted. And remind my heart that with You, it’s never too late. In Jesus’ name I pray, believe, receive, and praise. Amen.
