HIS TIME

I’ve seen advertising for a service for older singles called “Our Time”. Clever name. The problem is there is no such thing since time is held in God’s hands alone. Its all “His Time”. “On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul you increased,” Psalm 138:3 (ESV). Notice that the “strength of soul” was immediate, but the solution to the problem David sought was not the focus of His prayer. It often feels like God is slow in His response to our crises, but He never is. The Eternal One is always perfectly on time. My part is to obey Him, serve Him, call upon Him and trustingly wait upon Him. The moment I ask He sends His strength to my soul, but any panic about the timing of the manifestation of the answer does nothing to move His Hand more quickly. He is the Timekeeper, and there is no other. LORD, I have many needs, but one thing supersedes them all; that I seek YOU.
