TIME AND TIMING
2 Chronicles 28

What does your time says? Which time are you living in? Different times come and go and time waits for nobody. However, God is the only One who is in control all of time. He alone is the Alpha and Omega; the beginning and the end; the ancient of days and the great I Am that I Am. He alone dwells in an unapproachable light. Above all, God is the only One who inhabits eternity. There are times of challenges, times of disruption, times of isolation, times of celebration and many more of different times that go on in the life of every man who dwells under the heavens. The perfect and consistent thing about God’s time and timing is that there is no man who can turn back or turn forward the time and timing in God’s divine schedule. God sits and reigns as the stage director; the writer and the producer of man’s life on the stage of life. The Psalmist describes Him in Psalm 29:10, “The LORD sat enthroned at the flood, and the LORD sits as King forever.” All that happens to man does not catch God by surprise because He has taken a seat forever before the creation of His hand. Man can possibly and perfectly take control of turning the clock back and forth, but it will have no effect on God’s timing. God alone brings time to pass, but how time is being spent by all of His creation is what makes the difference. What time are you into at this stage of your life? How you are responding to the current time that you are passing through before the only One who controls the time will determine the mark of your life? Ahaz became king of Judah at twenty years of age, reigned sixteen years but he did not what was right before God. The time of his not doing right increased even more when he became in distress. 2 Chronicles 28:22-23, “Now in the time of his distress King Ahaz became increasingly unfaithful to the LORD. This is that King Ahaz. 23 For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus which had defeated him, saying, ‘Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, I will sacrifice to them that they may help me.’” Those gods, however, were the ruin of him and of all Israel. Like a twinkling of an eye, times of challenges can terminate the journey of life. Ahaz allowed the time of distress to derail his faith and all that he had done was derailed. In your present time, know that whatever you are dealing with, God is not asleep concerning you. Keep focus on God and He will cause His face to shine on you.
