" TIMING "

OK, here we are again another message only a day after yesterdays. I trust that My Lord and Savior knows exactly what he's doing. From our perspective, God sometimes seems slow to intervene on our behalf. But what might appear slow to us is good timing from God's perspective. It is easy to become impatient while waiting for God to act, but we must never give up on him. When God is silent and you are in deep anguish, follow the method in this Psalm. Please review the the great acts of God through biblical history; then review what he has done for you. Now this will remind you that God is at work, not only in history, but also in your life. God will act when he is ready. Children have difficulty grasping the concept of time. " It's Not Time Yet " is not a reason they easily understand because they only comprehend the present. As limited human beings, we can't understand God's perspective about time. We want everything now, unaware that God's timing is better. When God is ready, he will do what needs to be done, not what we would like him to do. We may be as impatient as Children, but we must not doubt the wisdom of God's Timing. Wait for God to reveal His Plan. Don't take matters into your own hands. LAST POINT: Jesus loved a certain family and often stayed with them. He knew their pain but did not respond immediately. His delay had a Specific Purpose. God's Timing, especially his delays, may make us think he is not answering or is not answering the way we want. But he will meet all our needs according to his perfect schedule and purpose. Patiently await his timing. Don't be like Mary and Martha. Until Next Time... Jim
