IN HIS TIME, IN HIS TIME, HE MAKES ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL IN HIS TIME LORD, PLEASE SHOW ME EVERYDAY,AS YOU’RE TEACHING ME YOUR WAY THAT YOU’LL DO JUST WHAT YOU SAY IN YOUR TIME. IN YOUR TIME, IN YOUR TIME, YOU MAKE ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL IN YOUR TIME LORD, MY LIFE TO YOU I BRING, MAY EACH SONG I HAVE TO SING BE TO YOU A LOVELY THING IN YOUR TIME. Why does God say “No”? Because of our shortsightedness and His omniscience. He sees “the distant scene” and He knows how the next step should be taken that the “distant scene” may be made clear to us. What we mistake for God’s denials are often God’s wise and providential delays, which are not denials at all. Many an individual thanks God that he did not have his way, that things were taken from him, that difficulties were put in his way to block his advance in order that the might have the delight of overcoming, or the delight of awaiting God’s time. He sees the perils that are in our path that we cannot see. He speaks to us in mercy and grace and He builds us up to meet the dangers and be prepared to receive the things we could not wisely use today. There are many things which we can employ tomorrow that we cannot wisely use today. When I cannot understand my Father’s leading, And it seems to be but hard and cruel fate, Still I hear that gentle whisper ever pleading, God is working, God is faithful—Only wait. “For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.” Habakkuk 2:3
