God's Timing

"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end." - Ecclesiastes 3:11

Have you ever been impatient about something and then told a friend about your anxiety, only to have them say, "Everything in God's timing." Do you really buy that? Has everything in our lives already been planned out and already is under God's control?

I think the answer to that question is, "Yes!" Sort of.

I believe that God controls time. God is outside of it. Time has now power over God. He saw the beginning of the world and has already seen its end. He knew the day you were born and he knows the day you will die.

We don't have that ability. As much as we would like to.

You have all heard the story about the commuter who was running late for work because of some idiot driving slowly in front of him. All the commuter could think about was his lateness. He was impatient. Then he arrived on the accident scene, never thinking that, if he were actually on time, HE would have been in that accident. The commuter never looked into the slow car that was in front of him to see the angel driving it.

God controls the timing of things. He will make us late, He will cause us to arrive early. All things are in his hands. The sooner we understand that the less stressful our lives will become.

How will God adjust your timing today? Watch for it.
