BIBLE READING: Ecclesiastes 3:1-3
1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
MESSAGE:
God is the Creator of all things, and He knows what is best for you. He can never fail in fulfilling His promises. When God promises to do a thing, He will surely bring it to pass, but only at His appointed time. The Bible says that God makes all things beautiful in His own time (Ecclesiastes 3:11); this means that when people rush to get results that are not according to God’s timing, they might end up having great problems. For example, a boy who fails an exam the first time has only gotten an opportunity to prepare harder for the next time he will write the exam; however, if the boy decides to cheat or get someone else to write the exam for him, he might get caught and be disqualified from the educational programme he is enrolled in entirely.
God’s timing is the best because He knows what is best for you. Do not be impatient when you want something. There is a serious obsession with getting rich quickly these days, and many young people are guilty of this. I heard about some youths who engage in sports betting and gambling with their school fees. My dear child, do not sell your birthright because of immediate gratification. Keep engaging in legitimate work, and God will bless the work of your hands in due time.
