God's When is God's Will


Matthew 6:9-10 (ESV)

Pray then like this:
“Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
10 Your kingdom come,

your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.



God has a will for our lives, but He also has a when for our  lives. 



James 1:17 (ESV)

17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.




Just as God made His heavenly lights.  Each star and planet is perfectly arranged and timed.  God's timing of the heavens demonstrates that we can trust in His perfect timing.  




In John 11, Jesus raised His friend Lazarus from the grave after 4 days. His friends didn't understand. 



Everyone else Jesus raised from the dead was raised almost immediately; however, He raised Lazarus after the rot set in.  Lazarus had the honor of being a shocking sign.  



Romans 8:28 (ESV)

28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good,for those who are called according to his purpose.





Parts of our lives don't fully make sense; however, what happens to us is based upon God's perfect timing.  When God puts it all together it makes sense. 



God's part is timing.  Our part is to love Him.
