Our Timing is Off -- God's is Always Right On

We do not need to subdivide the day into more portions , for that will never ease man's inability to plan his day properly and safeguard his precious little time on this earth.
Let us learn from God the Father, who has all things in His hands.

For God, days and time are of no concern:

"For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night." (Psalm 90:4)

Man is limited by his physical being:

"For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.

"The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away." (Psalm 90: 9-10)

We have a limitless God who is leading and living among limited men. What can we do?:

"So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

"Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

"O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days." (Psalm 90: 12-14)

If we feel that God is not moving fast enough, we must remember that God's mercy permits man ample time to repent (literally "change one's mind") and receive the grace of God delivered through us by the death of His Son Jesus Christ:

"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." (2 Peter 2:9)

and

"But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing." (James 1:4)

We do not need more time, we need the Holy Spirit living within, leading us in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake (Psalm 23:3)

. The Lord of all who has made this world and time, whose gentle guidance far better makes use of our limited life on this world, infuses us with the eternal life of His Son, who not only teaches us to number, or rather reckon, our days, and rest in His Finished Work!
