God’s Perfect Timing!
"To everything there is a season, a
time for every purpose under heaven."
Ecclesiastes 3:1
In the days of American rail travel, nothing was more
important than the timepieces kept by engineers. These
pocket watches had certain operating specifications that
allowed for exactness and accuracy, even if damaged or
jarred. If all the train operators didn't have synchronized
watches, disaster ensued in the form of train
collisions.
At times we think God isn’t aware of how deep our troubles
are, then sometimes the problem is that our timetable is not
synchronized with His. God has a time for everything and a
moment for every purpose He ordains. He knows the exact
time to be born and die, to plant and to reap, to laugh and
to mourn, to keep and to give away, to work and to wait.
Through prayer and the truth of Scripture, we gain a better
sense of GPT: God’s Perfect Timing. Turn to Him then rest in
His presence and the knowledge that nothing is beyond His
sight. Develop no fret waiting. J. J. Lynch said, “His wisdom
is sublime, His heart profoundly kind; God never is before
His time, and never is behind.”
"Delay does not forget God’s servants nor cause
His faithfulness to fail; rather, it fortifies their souls
and vindicates His name."
V. Raymond Edman
