The Perfect Timing of God
As I watched the recent Olympics, I was struck by the crucial role timing played in every event. Fractions of a second separated champions from those who went home empty-handed. It wasn’t just about the overall finish time, but also about navigating curves and obstacles with precision.
A Lesson in Patience
As someone who values efficiency and likes to do things my own way, I struggle with patience. The Christian life challenges me to put aside my own timing and plans, embracing God’s instead. Perhaps you’re facing a similar struggle, wondering why your hopes and dreams seem delayed or unfulfilled.
Trust in His Plan
I’m learning that God’s timing is perfect, even when it’s hard to understand. He has a plan for each of our lives, knowing us intimately as our Creator. We may face trials and waiting periods, but God is working everything out for our good. The question is: are we willing to surrender our timetables to His?
Surrendering to God’s Timing
How can we better align our lives with God’s schedule? It starts with trust. We must trust that He has our best interests at heart, even when things don’t make sense. By surrendering our lives to Him, we can experience the joy of knowing He’s in control.
A Prayer of Surrender
“God, I surrender my life to You in every respect. Not just my heart and soul, but every aspect, every day. Help me live life to the fullest on Your timetable, filled with the joy of knowing You’re in control.”
