10^3 happens to be a millennium. 100 years is a century. A score is 20 years. 10 years is a decade. 1 year is, um well, one year. There are 365 days in a year. 31 days in a average month. 14 days in a fortnight. 7 days on a week. 1 day in, um well, one day. 24 hours pass in a single day. Roughly 12 at night and 12 during the day. One hour is 60 minutes exactly. 1 minutes equals 60 seconds precisely. It roughly took you 20 seconds to read that little combination of letters and spaces.
Why all this? Time. Time is the common thread, along with units but that is beside the point. Every one is a measure of time. They convey a meaning and thought to those who know. Time demands a maker in the same way a car demands a manufacturer. For example When you see a Porsche 911 GT3 parked by a curb you don't just assume that this awesome car oozed up out of the pavement. If you do,...well I won't even go there! You know that it was designed, tested, and built by Porsche. The only difference with time is that not everyone acknowledges it's maker, God.
Anyway, here's the point: a lot of time has gone by and more is to come. God is the only one in control of the time. Now that kinda bugs me a little because I get an agenda or schedule of what my plan is and suddenly it changes, doesn't happens, or it gets delayed. My 'time' vs His, and God always comes put on top. I love life and I get excited to see and do the next thing. I stare into the distance looking and wanting the next part of my life to come into focus. I feel that it's the right time for...(blank) and Gods right there saying,
"Yes I have the best for you because I love you. I sent my one and only Son to die for you. Do you really think that I'll withhold good things from you? I am good, it's part of me. It will all come together in my timing."
Drives me crazy most times because I want to know His timing, but Gods timing can't be quantified like our 'time' with units as listed earlier. I've learned that it is quite impossible to find a big enough and strong enough box to try and put Him in. Doesn't work. Don't try it. I am learning bit by bit that where I am in life is where He wants me. I'm to enjoy this season of life and use every year, month, week, day, hour, minute, and second as if it where His because it really is. Our 'time' will march on at 60seconds per minute and I can't fast forward or rewind it. I need to keep my eyes focused on Christ so that I'm in sync with his will and timing for my life. In the end when all is said and done and 'time' is gone His time will be the only one left standing! Tick tock, I can't wait!
