My times are in His hands.’ Psalm 31:15
What a strange thing time is and how wonderful it is that God is outside of time. God created it as we see in Genesis 1: 19 ‘‘And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.’ Every day is the same length. (unless you’re Hezekiah!) The sun sets and rises to an exact time-scale. Our lives are governed by minutes, hours, days and the four seasons.
God knows and understands time, as the creator He is fully in control of it’s patterns. Every minute has 60 seconds and every hour 60 minutes. Although every hour is exactly the same length in our minds they can vary. When we are waiting for a medical diagnosis or exam result, each hour can seem very long. On the other had when we are enjoying ourselves, we say ‘time flies.’ No, it doesn’t, it is always the same length.
God is the master of time and we are its servant. Though we do say in our hearts, ‘How long will God tarry until He returns?’ But He is not tarrying, He has everything under control. He is not seeing time as we are. As the God who works outside time, He has everything working perfectly.
