The Time of Life By: Dr David Jeremiah Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. --Genesis 18:14 Recommended Reading: Psalm 31:14-16 At the beginning of the twentieth century, women began wearing wristwatches, but not men. World War I changed that, for it’s hard to use a pocket watch in a battle zone. Now a hundred years later, our wristwatches have become small computers giving us total access to all our electronic needs. Still, for the Christian, our best sense of timing isn’t found on our wrists but on our knees. In Genesis 18, the Lord appeared to Abraham promising a son to be heir of God’s covenant. This wasn’t something God intended to do immediately, but “at the appointed time.” Who set the time? The Lord! He had His own schedule; the timetable was His; and things happened according to His agenda. To Abraham and Sarah, they were so old that Sarah laughed at it. But the Lord’s clock never missed a beat. He had His appointed times. Perhaps you’re looking at your wristwatch wondering why God isn’t moving more quickly. But He knows what He’s doing. Stop looking at your wrist, fall on your knees, and trust Him for His perfect sense of timing. When we surrender to His timing, He does mighty things in and for us, according to His will and His timing. God acts on behalf of those who wait for Him. ~Charles Stanley
