Due Season. Let’s merge that loaded phrase with Psalm 118:24. “This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” In other words, God always advances his purpose with his provision because there abides a readiness in everyday. God is not a get-ready source of supply; he is a be-ready one. The Genesis account of Creation verifies God made man only after provision was made; and that provision would yield to man’s command as lord of the earth. Lamentations 3:22-26 shows how God pre-planned each day; he set it up to run on heaven’s automatic deposits into your life, because what he commanded once abides forever. Only when God’s favor system has been breached, there will always be a failure to thrive. Favor gives you provision you don’t labor for. “It is of the Lord’s mercies [pass over judging you to keep you blameless before him in perfect love] that we are not consumed, because his compassions [his passion to provide for you more than your desire to receive his provision] fail not. They are new [not recycled or second-hand, nor of inferior quality] every morning [so you can experience a 24-hour turnaround]: great is thy faithfulness. The Lord is my portion saith my soul: therefore will I hope in him. The Lord is good unto them that wait [expect his highest good] for him, to the soul that seeketh [his heart, not just his hand] him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the [genuine] salvation of the Lord [not settle for a cheap imitation from the world, flesh, or the devil].” When the psalmist received all that as truth, he made a covenant demand—never demanding—on the inheritance God had chosen for him. Psalm 118:25 illustrates this: “Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.” He could apply his faith in the now season knowing that provision was only waiting for his command.
