God's Time

Time often feels like an enemy because it seems to work against us. We look back over the years and wonder where they've gone.

We look back over the weeks and months and get frustrated with ourselves because of the progress that we haven't made.

But when we find ourselves feeling this way, we must remind ourselves of this:
Isn't time in God's hands?
Doesn't He hold our yesterday, today, and tomorrow in His mighty hands?

Yes, the clock may be ticking in this physical world, but that doesn't mean that the best of our days are behind us. That doesn't mean that there isn't enough time for God to make things beautiful. His timing is perfect, and though it can be hard to grasp this when the days and years seem to fade into one another, continue to hold onto this:

He has made everything beautiful in its time. - Ecclesiastes 3:11

He's going to work it out! And He doesn't need our timelines and deadlines to do a miraculous work in our lives! So as you wait, don't spend your life waiting around doing nothing.

Spend your time living, loving, and serving. Become so invested in others and the opportunities God has placed in your life that you're no longer thinking about what you don't have all the time.

Get to the point where you can scroll past something on social media that you desire to have and you no longer feel empty because you don't have it.

Get to the point where you're so excited about what God is doing today that you don't even have time to worry about next year right now.

You get to that point but gaining this kind of perspective: "I know God has me in this moment and this season for a reason. So I'm going to make the most of it. Not worried if I'm missing out or if my time is almost up. Time is in HIS hands, and through Jesus, I will make the most of it everyday."
