Good Monday morning! While trying to be careful of the cat under the desk, I find that he has left the room. Do you find that events are just happening too fast for you? I wonder how we can ever think that one man or woman in any position, even president, can comprehend and react to all that is going on right now? The world looks for a savior, and one will be delivered too. Jesus warned us of this when he noted that one would come and the world would accept this person even though it rejected our Lord. The modern world is about speed and events can leave us feeling rather breathless. However, what is one thing the Lord often tells us? Wait!
We might feel that the world is out of control, but nothing is out of God's control and nothing happens too quickly for Him to take care of. As you arrive at work today, or prepare to sit down to work as I will do soon, let us reflect on the perfect timing of God. Events may seem to come at us not only out of the blue, but at high speed. Other things seem to take just short of forever. Our perception of time and events is not the same as God's point of view. We trust in Him because things are just too fast for you and I, except for when they are too slow. :-) Now that's funny! I wonder if Adam and Eve were tempted in the same way. First fooled by the serpent into thinking that "nothing ever happens here in the Garden" and then suddenly they were out in the world. Thorns grew, a cheetah blasted by them in pursuit of an antelope, it got cold and then hot, storms swept the land, bees buzzed by, birds darted this way and that... and they probably looked at each other and asked, "does it ever slow down?" The next day of course they looked at the tiny green plant that they hoped would one day produce fruit and said, "this is going to take forever!"
Fast, slow, stop, go... the world whirls around us, but God is in control. Have no fear, Jesus is near!
