Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NKJV) 3 To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven…
God’s timing and seasons are something that we teach about frequently.
Why? Because understanding God’s timing, and recognizing it in our lives is critical to us doing the right things at the right times.
Doing the right thing at the wrong time is equivalent to doing the wrong thing.
When that happens, it can cause us to question God and wonder why He isn’t answering our prayers or fulfilling His promises in our lives.
But, in reality, God is right on time, as He always is. It’s us that’s off. This happens more often than we know.
Sometimes we know we’re supposed to make a move, a choice or a decision that requires action on our part. So, we go ahead and do it. And then things don’t turn out the way we thought they would, or the way we wanted them to.
This is due to us only hearing part of what God has told us. Sometimes this happens because we have “selective hearing”. We hear what God tells us and key in on the part that we like!
But we can sometimes ignore the parts that we don’t like so much because they might require us to wait. Or maybe they require us to take certain steps that we either don’t like taking, or maybe don’t know how to take.
Other times it happens simply because we misunderstood God or didn’t hear Him correctly.
But don’t fret. This is all part of the learning process in our walk with God. We start out as infants, and then we grow, a little at a time. Soon we become toddlers and then we move up to elementary school.
And, if we stay diligent, and we keep learning and trusting God, we will move on through high school and graduate, with honors.
So, don’t give up. Don’t grow impatient. And don’t get discouraged if you get it wrong more than once. Keep pressing in, growing your relationship with Him. In due time, the pieces will come together and we will learn to move in His perfect timing.
