GOD'S TIMETABLE
II Peter 3:8
"But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."
I need this reminder often because I get so impatient when things don't happen when I want them to. Whether it is Christ's return, as Peter was writing about, or answer to prayer, or the salvation of a loved one, God is in control, and His timetable is different than mine. He is not constrained by my calendar because there is no time in heaven as we know it. God does not get in a hurry. The point is that I need to trust Him. He will accomplish His perfect will in His time. "In His time, in His time, He makes all things beautiful in His time. Lord, please show me every day as You're teaching me Your way that You'll do just what You say, in Your time."
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: God does things according to His calendar, not mine.
[end]
Have a patient, trusting day. Love you.
