Time Change Blues: Waiting on God’s Timing

Am I the only one struggling with the time change this week? I mean, when I realized it was time to leave my house Monday, I was still in my PJ’s! (Whoops)

For as much as I dislike time change, that’s what time does, isn’t it? It changes.

You look up and it’s already time to leave for the day or go to bed. Or worse, you look up and are faced with the reality that your loved ones are older, you are older, and life is different. The plans you thought God put in your heart, the goals and miracles, they haven’t happened.

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is
like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness.
Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone
to come to repentance.

2 Peter 3:8-9

When it feels like God didn’t get the time change memo, remember, His time is not our time. No matter how much we wish it was sometimes. But we can also rest in knowing that His time is the PERFECT time. Every time.

So as you adjust to the time change and get ready to welcome in a new spring, take stock of where you are. Are you waiting on God’s time? Or trying to push ahead? Are you talking to Him daily and more importantly, listening? Or forgetting Him in the stress of the season?

Pray this week:
God, I know you have my best interest at heart. That your time is the perfect time, every time. God forgive me when I forget and try to take control. Help me to put my timing aside. Remind me every day to talk and listen to You. To open myself up to your peace, your guidance, and your correction. I thank You that I can trust you with this God. In Jesus Name, Amen.
