"He has made everything beautiful in its time" (Ecclesiates 3:11)
Today, I receive the following encouragement sms from Ricky, a Christian brother:
"There is a time to serve Him. There is a time to rest and wait. God will lift you up for Him when the right time comes"
Human nature tends to want everything right now. Most of us get impatient and we're always in a hurry. When we pray for our dreams to come to pass, we want them to be fulfilled immediately. But we have to understand, God has an appointed time to answer our prayers and to bring our dreams to pass. And the truth is, no matter how badly we want it sooner, no matter how much we pray and plead with God, it’s not going to change His appointed time. It’s still going to happen on God’s timetable.
When we understand God’s timing, however, we won’t live all stressed out. We can relax knowing that God is in control, and at the perfect time He is going to make it happen. It may be next week, six months time, next year, or ten years from now. But whenever it is, we can rest assured that it will be in God’s perfect timing.
When we are trusting God, we can be at peace knowing that at the right time, God will keep His promise.
"I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him" (Ecclesiates 3:14)
