*"God’s Timing**" ***
by Tom Brown Timing can be everything. An inventor may come out with a product that grabs the market, while another equally talented inventor can produce a product that is better than the other one, yet fail. Why? All because of timing. A business can open prematurely and result in bankruptcy, while another business can flourish all because of timing. An author can write a book that makes the bestseller list, while another book which is better written can collect dust on the shelves because it came out too early or too late. Timing can make or break a good idea. As wise Solomon wrote, "He has made everything beautiful in its time" (Ecc 3:11). *Procrastination* For some people *never *is the right time. They never seem to do anything because they procrastinate. People procrastinate because they don’t realize that they *don’t have forever *to accomplish what they need to accomplish. *Any Time" is Not Always Right* On the other side of the spectrum are those who think that anytime is the right time. Jesus said of His unspiritual brothers, "For you any time is right" (John 7:6). Jesus was very aware of God’s right time. He said to his brothers, "The right time for Me has not yet come." And to his mother, He said, "My time has not yet come." God did not send Jesus too early or too late. Just at the right time. Maybe at this point you have realized that you missed God’s time. Perhaps you simply feel frustrated because your whole life is out of sync. Good News! The Bible says that you can "redeem the time" (Ep 5:16 KJV). So if you have blown your opportunities and missed your time of success, you can buy back some time from God. God will put you back in the race and rewind the clock and let you start over again. *"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven..."** (Ecc. 3:1) * *GospeLines Prayer:* *Father, forbid that I should become a "clock-watcher" at this season of my life. I want to trust You for the time I have left, to turn back the hands of time when I live in haste, and to advance the hours when I drag my feet. May I live wisely, as though my days on earth are eternal, but with an urgency, knowing that they are surely numbered.** * *Amen and Amen!* *_____________________________________________________* --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tribewithavibe" group.
