Ecc. 3 [The Message]

Solomon points up that timing is critical. There is a right time, so there must also be a wrong time or a so-so time. In sports, good timing is everything. In investing, timing can make or break you. How do we hope to hit it right in life?

First of all, God’s timing is never wrong. He sits King over all time and sees it as a continuum. It’s as if He has a book in front of Him and He can turn to any page He’d like. If so, we should take our cues from Him. Being led of the Spirit, acting according to the faith He has allotted, responding in obedience to His Voice and His Word … these are keys to functioning with good timing.

When in doubt, we should ask Him for His wisdom about our timing.

If you want to know what God wants you to do, ask him, and he will gladly tell you, for he is always ready to give a bountiful supply of wisdom to all who ask him; he will not resent it. [James 1:5 TLB]
