Time doesn’t go any slower- it just seems to keep speeding up. I imagine life will get easier but it
doesn’t. I think issues will recover but
they don’t seem to. I hope money
shortages will improve but they don’t. I
guess I’ll have more time but that never seems to happen. Funny thing is, most everyone I know says the
same thing. And it feels like yesterday
was just May, but it’s already December.
How did that happen? When on
earth am I going to find time to clean so I can decorate…
While I thing I would have enjoyed the slower pace of the 1800’s there
are some things I would hate- outdoor washrooms, fire heat, womanly duties like
washing by hand, cleaning and especially cooking, no telephones, no skype to
see loved ones- only snail mail… God
knew what He was doing when He dropped me into this generation in one of the
best countries- Canada
In these days where it seems to always be a
shortage of time, here are some interesting Scriptures:
But I will establish my covenant
with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this time next year." Gn.
17:21
It’s not our timing but God’s and
believe it or not, His timing is perfect.
Our desires are always when we want it, which is usually NOW. I’m
sure God spares us much grief by making us wait.
And the Angel of Jehovah called
to Abraham out of the heavens the second time, Gn. 22:15
When God wants to, He can keep calling
us, especially when we miss His voice the first time. If He wants us to do something for Him, He’ll
repeat His will and give us another shot.
At that time Jehovah said to
Joshua, Make sharp knives for yourselves and circumcise the sons of Israel
again, the second time. Js. 5:2
Just in to the Promised Land, Joshua
knew war was ahead yet God put the soldiers out of commission for a few
days. It was time for the renewal of
their covenant as God’s people. We also
need to renew ourselves with God daily, circumcising our hearts because we love
Him.
And he waited seven days,
according to the set time with Samuel. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal. And
the people were scattered from him. 1Sm. 13:8
Saul was not happy he was kept waiting,
but janitor or king, no one can change God’s timetable unless He wants to change
it. When all the questions of why come
up, we usually just need to wait on God.
There’s a reason He’s delaying and like every good Father, we don’t
always need to know why.
…And who knows whether you have
come to the kingdom for a time like this? Es. 4:14
Esther saved her people because God
arranged that position for her. Maybe it
didn’t look good to her, or perhaps she didn’t want to put herself out there,
but in the end she did and she saved her people, the Jews.
To every thing there is a season, and a time for every purpose
under the heavens: Ec. 3:1
There is a time for everything…
We looked for peace, but no good came; and
for a time of health, but behold, trouble! Jr. 8:15
We may look forward to a time of peace
and health, but for many right now, that future lays in God’s eternity which He
is preparing for us. In other words,
life is tough and God doesn’t always choose to bring peace and health in our
lives right now.
...Behold, now is the accepted time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.) 2Cr. 6:2
Now is the time for salvation. None of us know when we shall die. It could be two seconds from now or in
decades. So, be prepared. Be ready.
Now is the day. Not tomorrow, but
now. There is a glorious future for
those who are His children. Not so for
the world. Be His today and don’t wait
any longer. I want you all to be in
Heaven one day full of His peace and joy.
