GOOD TIMING..OR GOD'S TIMING?

Good timing is what the world relies upon when it comes to making important decisions; but we, as followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, are held to a higher standard. All we have to do is look into the scriptures…there’s plenty of Godly instructions just waiting for us there.

For instance, check out Proverbs (especially the 16th chapter) and read,

“The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord”
Or
“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.”
Or
“There is a way that seems right to man, but its end is the way of death.”
Or
“Commit your work to the Lord and your plans will be established.”

I trust you can see a pattern developing in the teaching of the Word….God ordains the works of man and He has purposed a time, a place and an outcome. Now, surely, man often does his best to thwart the will and purpose of God …but even at his best, he can only delay what God has set in motion…whether we like it or not…

GOD IS IN CONTROL.

In Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, God gives us His timetable, starting with this thought, “There is a time for everything…a season for every activity under heaven”…. And the list continues. Time to be born, to die, to reap, to sow, to weep, to laugh….to love and to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. But then, the writer continues to tell us that he has seen the business of God given to his children and he confesses that God has made it all… and He has made EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL IN ITS TIME.

Is this your time to be made beautiful in the Lord? Has he called you out and set you aside for a special task, an unforgettable mission or a time of reconciliation with others?

We are not called to wait on good timing…. but rather on GOD’S TIMING. So, if you’ve been making great plans, FANTASTIC! Just be sure that you are seeking God’s will and His perfect timing….. Anything less will prove to be hazardous to your spiritual health and can lead to a path of destruction.

One of my personal mantras that I wrote during our daughter’s battle with cancer at age 5 said this; “Waiting on God takes faith…Trusting in God takes patience….Persevering in God takes Life…one step at a time!!!

If you’re waiting on God…be patient and then, be persistent in your walk and He will provide all that you need …..AT JUST THE RIGHT TIME!

Good timing or God’s timing….the results will be determined by you choice…so choose wisely….like your future depends on it.


Walking the walk ….patiently waiting on Him,
