But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day.
2 Peter 3:8
God’s Timing
A day is like a thousand years to the Lord and a thousand years is like a day. What this verse tells us is that God knows no boundaries. As people we are often limited by the boundaries of time. We must complete something in a certain amount of time. We feel like there are not enough hours in the day to accomplish everything we need to accomplish. Even our own lives are constrained by time. However, God knows no time boundaries. That means that his plans are not always our plans and our plans are not always his plans. He may not necessarily answer a request immediately since he is not restrained by time.
When we pray and bring our requests to Him, we must understand that he will answer them in his own time. His timing is always perfect.
A Prayer to Remember
Dear Lord,
Help me trust in your time and your plan. I know that your timing is perfect. Amen.
