Just Right And On Time

S.E.E.D. For Today_Timing

Scripture "God has given them a desire to know the future. He does everything just right and on time, but people can never completely understand what he is doing." Ecclesiastes 3:11

If we accept life as it is, even the hard parts will become bearable. Often times we feel like aliens in the world of time. We also desire to understand our place in the world against the backdrop of eternity. But we cannot find out what God does from beginning to end, we are not able to discern any plan or pattern of all this. God's purposes are usually outside of our realm of control or investigation. God accomplishes His purposes in His time, but it will not be until we enter eternity that we will begin to comprehend His total plan. Our earthly pursuits while lawful in their season become unprofitable if God never intended them to be. Sometime we try to force timing through our own efforts to be happy but out of God's order become a disappointment.  The Psalms writer says in 1:3 that we are like trees planted by streams of water, that yield fruit in the right timing. "God has planned a time for everything and every action,"v17. Jesus life showed a wonderful balance of the sense of timing. On one occasion in John 7:6  His brothers urged Him to go to Judea. Jesus replied; the right time has not come for Me yet. Timing is everything.

Example The time when something happens or is done especially when it is thought of as having a good or bad effect on the result.

Exercise Read Ecclesiastes Chapter 3; It is said that the purpose of this poem was to set the stage for this discussion, that God does everything when the time is right. He also put eternity into man's mind, He has given us the desire to know the future. We must acknowledge that the place, purpose and timing of every person, thing or event is God's overall plan. We can investigate to try to make sense of His plan but we will never know unless God chooses to reveal it to us. Timing is everything, you have to wait for the instructions. The instructions come in daily prayer,  Jesus prayed to the Father for instructions. Even now He is waiting for the Father to tell Him it's time to return. He doesn't know it only the Father does. Don't force your destiny God does everything just right and on time.

Devotion Lord I pray for the timing of God. Help me not to become agitated while waiting. I pray for the patience to follow, in prayer I receive the instructions of your plan for my life. Your timing is appropriate. You have created me with the desire for eternal things and a realization that this life cannot be all there is, please reveal the plan to me in your timing that Your Will be done in Jesus Name Amen.
