On Time

October 29, 2023

I preached this morning on gratitude, which took me back more than ten years to when God told me to stop all negativity and focus on “whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy” (Philippians 4:8). Part of doing this consisted of giving thanks for three things each day. Today on the calendar calls for giving thanks for three gifts on time. 

I am grateful that 1) time passes. The bad, the failures, the troubles are not eternal. 2) God is always on time. He isn’t early; he isn’t late. We may have a hard time seeing it or believing it, but God’s timing is always just right. 3) Now is the right time for salvation, for repentance, for faith and love.
