God's Timing

Hurry, Hurry, Hurry, and wait… Waiting! None of us do it well, do we? We are conditioned for fast response in our disposable world. We don’t know the art of waiting anymore. We are a society who wants what we want now… and we don’t wait… we are impulsive and ready to go, go, go… As I sat waiting to play my next hole, the golf course pretty backed up, so I am waiting and my flesh crawls… I don’t like waiting. I came here to relax and play a quick 9 holes of golf and I am getting frustrated about waiting. How relaxing is that! NOT!! Relaxing no, bad attitude, YES! I am frustrating myself by leaning into the culture of go, go, go… it is about time I learn to wait and wait without frustration, just peacefully wait and enjoy the time in God’s waiting room. Golf was teaching me this today. The more frustrated I get when I am waiting, the worse I do life, as I step out to swing on the next hole, it isn’t pretty, because my attitude is bad, my shot is bad. So, life may bring us a “roadblock” or a backed up golf course, how will we wait? What is there to learn from waiting? “Kairos” God’s most critical timing is in play. God wants us to have our best day, so He makes us wait for the purposeful timing, for the best outcome possible. Thats My King! Always looking out for me. I would rush through everything and never enjoy a moment of it, never learn, stretch myself or grow through. He wants better for me. So if you find yourself waiting when you were hoping for a “quick 9” and your plans are changed up, your mapped out day changed up… then rest in the Kairos timing of God. Sometimes waiting is critical for God to make us ready so we can have the best outcome possible for us. Our best moment is ahead if we trust God in the times of “Kairos Waiting”, as we wait for that critical, purposeful, perfect timing of God. That Hole In One Awaits Us! God says wait… and we know He wants the best for us, so we yield to His timing and we wait in confidence that our Omniscient, Know it all God, is navigating us to our best moment. Perfect in timing, this is our God. We can trust Him in our waiting. God wants things to be perfect for us. He loves us. We want to go now… but God says wait, so we wait in faith, peace and hope, knowing the best is yet to come. Have fun golfers. Enjoy your day, even if you are waiting… SMILE! Dig Deeper: “Kairos Timing” Of God… It Is Critical Timing. “Kairos is an ancient Greek word meaning "the right or critical moment." It refers to an opportune time for action, distinguishing it from chronos, which denotes chronological or sequential time.”dictionary.com Strong’s Greek “Summary Kairos underscores the truth that all history—and every believer's life—is ordered by the Lord's perfect timetable. Recognizing and responding to these appointed moments transforms ordinary days into stages for God's redemptive glory and advances His kingdom until the final, climactic "time" when Christ is revealed.” https://thebridegroomscafe.com/live-responsible/ https://thebridegroomscafe.com/steady-on/ https://rumble.com/v6tutvt-hurry-hurry-hurry.html https://rumble.com/vam60d-weary-compassion-fatigued-soul-exhausted.html

Have you ever had those emotional “crash and burn” kind of situations?? Always a precursor of emotional exhaustion is three words: Hurry - Hurry - Hurry! We are so busy and harried people. We need to slow down, listen to God, hear His Voice and follow after Him, with His strength, not our own. Golf is like that too… I am a golfer, not very good because I don’t play as much as others do. I take at least one or two times a week to slow down my life and get out on the golf course. Golf always feeds my soul and slows me down on my life course, which does seem like a busy, fast paced life. Sometimes we put way too much on our plate. We are doing a little bit of everything and some of it is God directed, but some of it is not. Keeping up with an over-scheduled life makes us feel the “harried” feeling in our soul, like we just can’t keep up and we are exhausted… and if we continue on this course, we do crash and burn emotionally and it is not pretty… not pretty at all. We can avoid this! Stop! Listen up to God and stay in followship of Him. Be led by God’s peace. Take off all the unnecessary things off your life plate, reorder your schedule according to God’s direction. Just like in golf when we are in a hurry and we are hurrying up our swing, the ball doesn’t go in the right direction, or sometimes it doesn’t go at all… it piddles right off the tee.. embarrassing right!!??!! In golf when we hurry the ball is not going to make it to the hole in that “par like” fashion. We have to take our time, set up our shot and the approach to the ball is so important, if we jam ourselves up, the ball is not going to go very far. When we have a fast swing because we are in a hurry, the ball is going to go to places we don’t want to be chasing it. This happens in life too, where we hurrying and we aren’t set up, we aren’t ready and we don’t finish well. When we take the time with God, we listen up and we get the direction from Him for our day, we thrive, we finish the day well. The same goes with golf, when we slow down, we focus and we don’t hurry our swing, we do well. Less is more when it comes to being a person who finishes strong, less on our plate, more focus, more finishing well. What is the hurry? Slow down and finish strong! God bless ya!

He’s not here… but before they said that, at the beginning of the week of Easter, they had no idea what God was going to do that Friday, what Jesus, their beloved Savior would have to grow through. God’s Timing Was Everything. He’s not here. As we start Easter week, or any week of the year, we don’t know what lies ahead for us, but we do know God is with us and He is for us in that incredible way of His. God’s timing is perfect as we wait on Him at the beginning of our week. I have never really liked Monday, I don’t know why? Anyone else feel that way about Monday? I guess it is a bummer because we come off of a long weekend and it is the start of a long week ahead. Can you imagine what Jesus felt like that Monday before He was to die on Friday? Can you even begin to imagine?? Yet, He stayed on mission, because timing is everything, and it mattered. Jesus was determined to finish well. That shows me one thing, every day is a gift and no matter what lies ahead for us, if we stay on Mission with Jesus, we can finish well. How did Jesus begin his week? This scripture should give you a huge hint: “Adopt the same attitude as that of Christ Jesus, who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God as something to be exploited. Instead he emptied himself by assuming the form of a servant, taking on the likeness of humanity. And when he had come as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death—even to death on a cross.” Philippians 2 Father God, make us to be so, like Jesus, may we be saved to serve and stand on the side of truth like He was and is, and in all humility, love others like He did and is, loving them like He had never been hurt by them. Jesus continues to give His all to us all, speaking truth and life, and finishing well despite our, rejection, false accusations, and hate. Because of Jesus, and His humility and His position underneath the Rulership of God, and His truth, Jesus beat his enemies and won the greatest victory over evil known to mankind. Timing is everything. He Is Not Here! That is what they said the morning they went to the tomb to prepare Jesus’ body for burial. Death was the evil intention, eternal life was the outcome. The illegitimate authority over Jesus appeared to have the upper hand because He was allowing it for a greater purpose, which had an endgame of eternal life. Timing was everything. So, start every Monday with good intentions, wholly-holy aligned with Jesus, and be like Him and finish every week well. Wait on God, yielding, believing, trusting, and activating faith, because God’s timing is everything, we patiently endure. We yield to God and His methods because we know to trust God, we must believe that His timing is perfect, His timing is everything. God loves us too much to answer our prayer when we want it with what we want. God waits until the timing is right for what is absolutely the best outcome for us. He speaks Shalom into our injustice and disrupts the chaos of everything that doesn’t feel right with HIs peace and truth, that stands the tests of these evil times. Do You Want To Dig Deeper?

In the overwhelming feeling of injustice, we wait, we patiently endure and wait on God’s perfect timing, knowing He will make crooked places straight.” KimberlyMac
