There’s more in Daniel about time, but I think it’s about time to put it to rest. There’s his cryptic “time, times, and half a time” in 7:25 and 12:7, but I want to take you to the Psalm 31:15 for my last thoughts on time.
“My times are in your hands.”
I learned this verse in vacation Bible school when I was around 11 or 12 years old. Our class was in the balcony of Westside Baptist Church, and was being taught by Chuck Bassett. VBS always had a craft time, and ours was making wooden clock faces with moveable hands and this verse embossed on the face.
It’s funny how something so simple can have such a lasting impact. From that time on, I’ve never doubted God’s plans for me. I haven’t always understood them, but I’ve never doubted them. Life can throw some pretty wicked curves your way, but if you will hold onto this simple verse, you’ll be able to handle the worst of them. Your times are in God’s hands. Whether it’s waiting or moving, enduring or overcoming, you can trust God’s timing, knowing from birth to grave, you are in his loving hands.
