Ecclesiastes 3:1-4 For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest. A time to kill and a time to heal….. A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance. A time to embrace and a time to turn away.....
There are times and seasons for everything. If we keep reading on in that passage up to verse 8 we discover just about every human experience is mentioned. God knows all about timing and He's never late but He may test our faith by taking us up to the last minute.
He already knows what is in our hearts but sometimes He needs to reveal to us what is in our hearts too, so we can learn to trust Him more, knowing that His timing is always right for us.
I don't know about you but I tend to want things done now, to deal with the difficulty now, and get it over and done with but some things take time. God ordained something called seed time and harvest. It's the space between seedtiiiiiime .......and......harvest which can't be rushed because it's a process that has to take place to receive the full harvest that's expected.
A farmer knows not to go and dig up the seed every five minutes to see how it's doing. No, he just rests in the certain knowledge that he's done his bit; planted the seed and the harvest will follow in due course.
So, if there are some things you are waiting for and they seem to be taking a while don't be frustrated, discouraged or anxious but be encouraged because you're just in the bit in between the seedtiiiiiiiiime and the harvest and yes it can seem slow! It's the bit when you trust God's perfect timing, the bit when you keep your faith out there believing for a full harvest of whatever it is you're waiting for at the other end.
God says our times are in His hand and I can't think of a safer place to be than that, which I hope will help us to relax and let God do what He wants to do in the time He wants to do it knowing He has our very best interests at heart. 😊
Psalm 31:15 My times are in Your hand; ....
