In His Time

Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end. — Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NLT) Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NASB1995) says: He has made everything appropriate in its time. Everything that we experienced in 2022 may not have appeared beautiful to us, with our limited human perspective. But we can know in our hearts that it was appropriate because it happened according to the time set by our heavenly Father, Who had all our days written in His book, before we drew a single breath. (See Psalm 139:16) For now, all that we know is partial and incomplete. (See 1 Corinthians 13:12 NLT) This year may not have brought all that you had hoped for, but remember that everything happens at His appointed time.

Look Expectantly

You can be sure that God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). He opens His hand, and we are satisfied. Keep your eyes on the LORD and patiently wait, with expectation. He does not disappoint. “In the Mount of the LORD it shall be provided.” (Genesis 22:14).

Oh, That You Would Be Silent!

Oh, that you would be silent, and it would be your wisdom!  — Job 13:5 (NKJV) Ecclesiastes 3:7 reminds us that there is a time to be silent and a time to speak. Sometimes silence is golden. When Job's friends learned of his troubles, they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great (Job 2:13). Wisdom is not only speaking the right word, but also speaking at the right time. A word spoken in due season, how good it is! (Proverbs 15:23)
