In His Time

"He has made everything beautiful in its time." Ecclesiastes 3:11

A few years ago, I was walking in one of my favorite parks that I usually jog in. I was walking and also talking to the Lord. I was telling and asking Him about something that was in my heart. He knows that I really wanted to hear from Him about my heart’s desire, and this time He spoke to me in a different wonderful way.

As I was walking in that park, He brought my attention to a beautiful tree blooming with beautiful white color flowers. When I looked at that tree, deep inside my heart, I heard the Lord say, “I made these beautiful flowers to bloom in its season.” And He continued by saying, “Likewise, I will make all things beautiful in your life in its time.” The moment I heard what the Lord says, I remember Ecclesiastes 3:11 “He has made everything beautiful in its time." It’s always wonderful to hear Him speak.

Waiting is not something nice for many of us. Some will start to complain; some will worry, and there are also some who will run ahead of God and get themselves into trouble. God is never too late or too early in accomplishing whatever He wants to do in each one of our lives.

He knows every single thing about us and nothing is hidden from the ONE who created you and me. The hidden desires and interest in your heart are not hidden from His eyes. Men may be surprised to hear your heart's desires; but for Him it is not a surprise at all. He created you! How can even a small thing of His own loving hand's creation slip through His careful eyes? He knows what you are thinking. He knows what you are going to say a minute from now. He knows the one special desire in your heart that you did not tell anyone.

God is even more interested than you about your heart's desires and if your heart’s desire is aligned with His will and purposes, He will do more than what you could think or even imagine, "Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is working within us." Ephesians 3:20. And without you realizing, He is working in you to bring into fulfillment everything that He wants to fulfill in your life.

Timing belongs to the Almighty God alone. We have to wait patiently for God's perfect timing. If we run ahead of God, we might end up doing the things that we should not do. Your waiting period could be a moment or season for God to prepare you. Don't rush, but allow God to help you move in His beautiful timing. God will make all things beautiful in His timing. He loves you so much and He desire to give you the best. Put your trust in Him and wait expectantly. He will never disappoint those who hope and wait upon Him.
