Yacking

Acts 1:7 "You don't get to know the time. Timing is the Father's business.”

Have you ever just had those people that you try to be nice to and they end up yacking your ear off?  They always end up doing it when you are in a hurry.  You slow down to reply to their greeting and before you know it their life story is being told for the third time while you try to be patient, nodding your head and smiling when needed.  God Bless their dear hearts but they just don’t grasp the concept of timing.  The timing of what you say and do makes a huge difference.  For example, if someone is waiting in a hospital to hear how their loved one is doing, that is not the time to ask them if they have chosen a funeral home yet.  If you are at work or in school and need to go to the bathroom, at your desk is not the time to fix that problem, wait until you get to the bathroom.  My point is, timing is important and God knows this.  We’re not the best at timing things and most often need help.  Sometimes we think God is taking too long to move.  Come to find out down the road, He wasn’t taking too long at all He was timing it just right for the best outcome.  If we would have done it when we wanted to it would have turned out very wrong.  It reminds me of those guys who refuse to look at directions when they’re piecing something together.  They end up with extra parts and a funny looking object.  We have to remember, if God can make something as detailed and intricate as a thriving solar system in a day, I think His timing should be the least of our worries.

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8 “There's an opportune time to do things, a right time for everything on the earth: A right time for birth and another for death, a right time to plant and another to reap, a right time to kill and another to heal, a right time to destroy and another to construct, a right time to cry and another to laugh, a right time to lament and another to cheer, a right time to make love and another to abstain, a right time to embrace and another to part, a right time to search and another to count your losses, a right time to hold on and another to let go, a right time to rip out and another to mend, a right time to shut up and another to speak up, a right time to love and another to hate, a right time to wage war and another to make peace.”
