What Time is it???

Have you ever experienced times of frustration in your life because it seems that you have gotten ahead of God, and it was not a season for Him to do something through you but rather, to do something to you? I’ve also missed some opportunities along the way because I did not adequately prepare for, or make, the right shift at the right time. We read in the book of Daniel 19-23 that night the answer to the mystery was given to Daniel in a vision. Daniel blessed the God of heaven, saying,” Blessed be the name of God, forever and ever. He knows all, does all: He changes the seasons and guides history, He raises up kings and also brings them down,
he provides both intelligence and discernment, He opens up the depths, tells secrets, sees in the dark—light spills out of him! God of all my ancestors, all thanks! All praise! You made me wise and strong. And now you’ve shown us what we asked for. You’ve solved the king’s mystery.”
It is important for us to understand the season of life that we are in. Otherwise, we won’t find ourselves doing things that are conducive to what God wants to accomplish through that particular season of our life.
I remember reading a story of a man who rushed into a train station, out of breath anxiously asking the ticket booth agent “what time does the 8:01 train leave?” “8:01” was the answer he got, “well the man said, its 7:59 by my watch. The town clock says its 7:57, and the station clock is 8:04, so which one do I go by? “, “you can go by anyone you want to the agent replied, but you can’t go on the 8:01, it’s already left”
Ecclesiastes 3 tells us that there is a time in life for everything, and that God is a God of timing, and not just any old timing, but “perfect Timing “we need to understand that timing and the seasons God has ordained for our lives ,way to often we try to reap during planting season, plant during the harvest season, we run when we should be resting and we tend to rest way to much when we should be busy doing the work God has set before us. Doing the right thing at the wrong time, even though it’s with good intentions, will cause us to miss the train every time!
You may be struggling through hard times right now, it may seem like you’re in a battle that is totally out of your control. You possibly feel totally overcome by fear and anxiety, uncertain if things will ever get better. Don’t give up, hang on, your struggles wont be wasted, they may even be necessary to bring about Gods propose in your life
We need to say.”never again do I want to be sitting in the train station ,bags packet, ticket in hand watching the train that was to carry you into the propose God had or your life disappearing of into the distance “
Be open and aware of what God has for you and your life, he is a God of infinite love, accept His plan for you, it’s a “Good” thing, and He will see you through it.!
Blessings 
