Timing is everything
Why is this such a popular saying? And how do we get good timing? Is it an inborn quality? Can it be learned?
When we follow the Lord, we are in a prime position for great timing. Why? Because His timing is absolute perfection, down to the millisecond.
Though His timing can seem "late" in our way of thinking, it never is. Not even once.
What are you waiting on the Lord for? A desired outcome? A promotion? Release from a difficult situation where He has told you to stay put a while longer?
Whatever it is you are waiting for - even after you have done everything you possibly could to "make it happen" but it still eludes you - trust that the Lord knows exactly what He is doing.
He alone knows how to "make things happen" for you:
- in the best way
- at the best possible time
- when it blesses you the most
- when the time is right!
Waiting is a fine art these days. In past generations, waiting was a natural part of life much more so than nowadays.
Are you a good "waiter?" Ask the Lord to help you wait patiently, with a good and expectant attitude. Do not give in to worry or complaining or doubt. Make the most of your waiting time by continuing (or starting!) to seek the Lord more, obeying more, trusting Him more, and growing your faith.
Know that the Lord is growing you up and preparing you for all that He has in store for you. Let Him!
Dear Lord, You are the Author of all time. You see the big picture and know all things. You know the way I take as well as the ways of every other living thing that You created. I can trust You! Though waiting is hard, I know that You are never late, Lord. Help me cooperate with You fully so that I will be totally prepared for all You have for me. Thank You that Your plan is good! In Jesus' Name. Amen.
