In His Time!

In His Time!

‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭3:11‬ ‭NIV‬‬

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

There is indeed a time for everything under the sun. Man has a timetable for all he seeks to do. The world will demand a schedule for all the milestones that man seeks to achieve, and even life itself will also drag some of these deliverables out of you, even if you do not plan for them. For example, those who are into active sports like football, basketball or tennis cannot maintain peak condition past 40 years old. There is an ideal time for ideal conditions in order to achieve ideal solutions. As it is in the physical, so is it in the spiritual too. God has also worked it out that all He demands from me align with his timetable and schedule for my life. He has a perfect will for all He has formed and given life, but He will not force anyone to submit to Him. It has to be of my own freewill. Between birth and death, a lot of things are designed by God to impact me and lead me to the path designed by God for me. As the old year gives way to the new, have I aligned my life with the perfect will of God? Do I even know him at all? 

One of the greatest, if not the most important reasons why I must be motivated to align with God's perfect will for my life is the reality of eternity. I have not been promised anything of value on this side of eternity, except a living and breathing relationship with God that leads to eternal life with Him. Everything the earth gives me will be taken back by it when the end comes. God has also designed it that my life will always be empty unless and until I have found God. When God breathed into man, man became incomplete and inadequate if he was not connected the right way to God. That is why man will run and pursue after all the world can give and still not be satisfied, until he had found God. Finding God is the secret to knowing the meaning of life and the right preparation for eternity. God is the first and the last, and if my life will make sense, I must make sure that I am in God when the end comes. Anything else will amount to a waste. Only in and by God is life truly well spent. God's time of favour is here.
