He says, 'Teach me Your way, O Lord, and lead me in a level path because of my foes. So I want you to turn if you will to the twenty-seventh Psalm, and I want us to read beginning in verse eleven of this twenty-seventh Psalm. So I want you to listen carefully, because timing is very important with God in relationship to your life, presently and future and your relationships to each other and with the things that you purchase, places you go, timing is very important. And well, your schedule, what does, where, Where is God in all that? Do you ever stop to ask Him, Lord, what do You think? And if I should ask you today, Whose schedule do you live by? You’d probably say, Well, by my own.

And I want you to see how often David, for example, talked about God’s timing and living according to His time and His schedule. So I want you to turn in a few moments to the Psalms and a particular one. And when I think about the timing of God, it is a very, very vital and important “point” in our life and in our relationship to Him. It brings Him glory and honor and is fulfilling to you and me. You see, God’s plan, and listen, God’s plan cannot be filled with any homemade ideas.

And somehow there’s a big empty void and no matter what they do they can’t fill it up. They’ve tried all kind of relationships and that didn’t work and the business world and the success that goes with all of that. They’ve tried all the finances and that didn’t work. That’s why they get on drugs and alcohol and all the rest. And everywhere you turn you find people who are miserable, unhappy. And then they head out with all their plans, without ever stopping to think, Well, God, why did You create me? What was Your purpose? What was Your plan? And therefore, where am I at this point in this plan? And to ignore God’s plan and to ignore His timing in living out that plan is a disaster. They go to school they get an education they choose some area of life to work in, to labor in. And His timing and His plan go together, because His plan is crystal clear, and He reveals it to us a step at a time.Īnd I think about how many people never even consider the fact that God has a plan for their life. You’ll never quite know where you are in life if you reject His plan and His timing.

You’ll never have what God intended you to have. You reject His plan, you will never enjoy life as He intended it. To reject that plan is to reject the best in your life. That plan is fantastic it’s perfect, and it’s perfectly suited for you, whoever you are, wherever you are and what’s going on in your life. And He doesn’t say, Well, now you just do whatever you want to do and I’ll be with you. It’s the fact that once you trust Him as your personal Savior, He begins to unfold His plan for your life. It’s not that we have to have a timing issue to get saved. Whether it’s a long pass to a runner, a fast ball to a batter whether you’re flying a plane or you’re in love with someone and you want to tell them or you are negotiating some deal, timing is everything.Īnd oftentimes we overlook the idea that the same is true in our relationship to God. And timing, if you’ll look around, for example, every sport, timing is everything. It’s not the easiest one by a long shot, but timing with God is everything. I was thinking the other day of all the principles I have ever studied and learned in the Word of God, which one stands above all the rest? Well, that was hard for me to figure, but it didn’t take me long to figure out that one of those that always comes close to the top, if not the top, is this simple principle of waiting upon God.
