The Timetable of Life

Schedules - Day Planners - Blackberry's - Calendars...... Are you the type of person that likes to plan out your day,  your week and so on?  I believe that most of us do like to make plans and tell ourselves that certain things will or must happen at specific times.  When we can arrange our lives on a schedule it truly does seem to make it less stressful and more productive.  But, then there are other times when life seems to have us hastily running back and forth, often causing us to become impatient, in a hurry, and then stumbling over our two feet.  Sometimes we are faced with circumstances beyond our control, other times just minor disruptions.

Do you ever notice though, when life's timetable is running smoothly that human beings have the tendency to forget God is in control?  Yes, we "know" that God is in control and we "know" that we need Him - we just confirm it with our actions.

But, good news....... God never forgets about us.  He does not work by our clock's time.  So, when life throws you a unexpected twist and you start trying to make sense of it all, calm down and enjoy the divine encounter.  Realize and understand that God has a separate timetable.  He is never late!  Our life's timetable has been rearranged so that we might rediscover our need and love for Him.  The Bible promises us in Romans 8: 28-29 that He will work all things out for good according to His purposes.

                                                    God knows the past - 

                                         the present - 

                                              and He knows the future.  

                                          God is in control!
