As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I was reflecting on TIMING. Sometimes it seems that everything in life is about TIMING. A good comedian knows how to use timing when telling a story or joke. A good cook must rely on timing to create a wonderful meal. A good preacher knows when to stop! Even our streetlights are timed to keep us from having accidents. We have calendars, schedules, clocks, and alarms, all to help with TIMING.
I wonder how many TIMES we turn to God and ask that we live in HIS TIMING. We need to trust that when we are called to WAIT there is reason. When we are called to action, the TIMING is important. The Scriptures tell us, “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!, Psalm 27:14. Again we hear in Isaiah 40:31, “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” We read in Ecclesiastes 3:1, “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.”
Today, I know I will look at my watch, I will check my calendar, and there will be many other ways in which I will be made aware of time. But I am going to pay special attention to GOD’S TIMING in my life.
Have a great day and make TIME for the Lord!
