Is It Time For Warming?

Whoo, single digit temps this morning and frosty, but is it time for warming? The weather prognosticators say so. We shall see. Real winter has been here for just a couple of weeks, though it seems longer, but already I am ready to see a little warming.

Is it time? God probably hears that question every day and night, many times over. We know that God sets the times and dates, but we constantly want updates. Patience is not a common virtue amongst us in this day. If we could get an honest survey, even Christians might say that God's timing is often just too late. We know that God's timing is just right, but what we say deep down in our hearts is not quite the same. The carnal desire of the flesh is to constantly give God a thumbs down on His sense of what time is the best time. Praise God the Spirit brings us truth.

Peter reminds us that God is not slack, but patient that all might be saved. We walk with Jesus in faith, trusting the Father's time and timing in all things. What seems late to me is simply my impatience talking. Why is my sanctification and perfecting taking so long? It isn't, of course. God is making me just right and fully prepared to be with Him in His perfect time. Why aren't you in Heaven yet? Perhaps because God in His loving kindness would have you to be a blessing to the rest of us for just a bit longer. The minister who has not been called home yet has at least one more message to give. The singer longing for Heavenly choirs has one more song to sing before her time arrives. It is indeed time for the warming of our hearts toward God's perfect time.

Go with God this day,
