As you glance at your wristwatch throughout the day, you’re constantly reminded of time—appointments, deadlines, and moments passing by. It’s easy to become focused on the rush and the urgency that each tick brings. Yet, just as your wristwatch tracks every second with precision, God’s timing is just as exact, but far more perfect.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 tells us, “He has made everything beautiful in its time.” Often, we wrestle with impatience, questioning why things aren’t happening according to our schedules. However, God’s timing is never late, never early—it’s right on time. Like a wristwatch, where every cog and wheel works together to give you the right time, God’s plans are interconnected and purposeful, even when we can’t see the full picture.
Next time you check your watch, let it be a reminder to trust in God’s timing. Though we may not always understand His plans, we can rest in the assurance that He is in control and knows exactly when each season of life will unfold. Trust the One who holds all time in His hands.
Prayer: Lord, help me to trust in Your perfect timing. When I am impatient, remind me that You are always working behind the scenes. Teach me to rely on Your wisdom and surrender my schedule to Your will. Amen.
