GPT: God’s Perfect Timing by David Jeremiah

GPT: God’s Perfect Timing To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1 In the days of American rail travel, nothing was more important than the timepieces kept by engineers. These pocket watches had certain operating specifications that allowed for exactness and accuracy, even if damaged or jarred. If the train operators didn’t have synchronized watches, disaster would ensue in the form of train collisions.

Many times we think God isn’t aware of how deep our troubles are, but sometimes the problem is that our timetable is not synchronized with His. God has a time for everything and a moment for every purpose He ordains. He knows the right time to be born and to die, to plant and to reap, to laugh and to mourn, to keep and to give away, to work and to wait. Through prayer and the truth of Scripture, we can gain a better sense of GPT: God’s Perfect Timing. Turn to Him and rest in His presence and the knowledge that nothing is beyond His sight. Develop no fret waiting. Poet J. J. Lynch said, “His wisdom is sublime, His heart profoundly kind; God never is before His time, and never is behind.” Delay does not forget God’s servants nor cause His faithfulness to fail; rather, it fortifies their souls and vindicates His name.
