His Timing

In today’s verse, Peter reminds us that God’s perception of time vastly differs from ours. While we measure time in days and years, God sees all of time at once. This verse highlights the eternal nature of God and His sovereignty over time.

As finite beings, we often struggle with impatience and a desire for immediate results. We may become discouraged when prayers seem unanswered, or we do not see the fulfilment of God’s promises in our timing. However, God’s perspective is eternal, and His timing is always perfect.

Understanding God’s timeless perspective can bring comfort and reassurance in times of waiting. It reminds us that God’s plans are not bound by our limited understanding of time. He is always at work, orchestrating events according to His perfect will and timing.

Today as we meditate on the text, we need to trust in God’s timing and His perfect plan for our lives. Let’s surrender our desires for instant gratification and instead rest in the knowledge that God’s timing is always right. His promises are sure, and He is faithful to fulfil them in His time.

But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (2 Peter 3:8)

Let’s Pray

Yahweh, thank you for being a God of perfect timing. Father, I trust that your plans for me are far greater than I could ever imagine, and I surrender my life and my timing to you. Remind me throughout the day to trust in your timing and to have faith that everything will happen according to your plan. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
