Galatians 4:4-5 says, “But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.”

Now, I don’t know about you, but that kind of timing amazes me. God’s timing is never too early, never too late—it’s just right. Think about it: He didn’t send Jesus into some random moment in history. He sent Him into the perfect moment. If I tried to explain it, I’d say it’s like sitting on the porch, watching the sunset, and realizing it’s the same every night but never quite the same. God works like that—always dependable, but uniquely fitting to the moment.

And here’s the kicker: Jesus didn’t just come to drop in, say hello, and leave us where we were. No, He came to redeem us. That word “redeem” means He bought us back, paid the price, and set us free. He didn’t do it because we earned it or deserved it. He did it because, well, we were His.

So, let me tell you this: You are no orphan. You’ve been adopted by the King of Kings. That means you belong to a family that won’t let you go. You’re loved, chosen, and cherished.

If you’re feeling out of sorts, like the world’s left you behind, remember this: God’s timing is still perfect. He showed up in the fullness of time then, and He’ll show up for you now. You just keep holding on—He’s already holding you.
