Time is God's gift for us

God gave us time as a beautiful expression of his order.
Confusion is Satan’s invention. I Cor.14:33
Confusion is his attempt to attack God’s order.
When man says , “Who is the first?” , God says,” the last will be first.”
When Satan says, “Where is the promise of his coming?” Jesus says
“I am the beginning and the end.”
When the world demands, “Let’s give all gods the same right to
save us”, God says,” there is no other name, but
Jesus by which man can be saved.”
Time doesn’t ask for our permission. Time doesn’t wait.
Time doesn’t listen. Time doesn’t change.
All times , including our daily schedules, are in His hands.
In John 11 it looked like Jesus came late to the house of Lazarus.
When he came, Lazarus had been dead “too long”.
Jesus in his earthly schedule glorified the Father by asking the
Father to change the order of events.
Man cannot stop death. Man cannot change that what has happened.
Jesus did both.
Lazarus was raised from the death against all powerful laws
of sin and death.
Time is his servant.
The third day of his resurrection didn’t come first.
There were two days that paved the way.
It was the most orderly event in human history.
No surprises or panicking moments for Jesus.
Everything took place in God’s perfect timing.
No wonder God often tells man to wait.
Sometimes it is the only thing that he tells us.
