subject: The Modern Bibles Guide To Understanding Gods Time [print this page] When is the right time to take actions? Read your bible and as what the great Solomon said, "He has made everything appropriate to its time, and has put the timeless into their hearts, without men's ever discovering, from beginning to end, the work which God has done" (Ecc. 3:11). When the time is right, you could see that it wouldn't take much for the events and the surroundings to conspire to its success.
The decision of following which path to follow, which decisions to make has been an everyday journey for most people. Yes, we do have a lot of things that we desire, ambitions to pursue, answers to questions that needs response. But more often than not, us humans have been very impatient when things don't go our way.
By reading the modern bible, you would understand that God"s time is not the same as that of man"s. We should understand that success through our endeavors can only be granted when we do the right things at the right time. One may strive harder to produce quicker results, but as long as he cannot fathom the meaning of working along God's time, this man will never succeed because he has underestimated the power of right timing.
Meanwhile, in waiting for the right time, you can never go lazy and procrastinate. Leaders from the past had been known to surround themselves with the wise people that would help them in their decisions on when and how to strike. Just because the time is not right does not mean that there is never a right time. Not using your days and time wisely will make you forget that you don't have forever to accomplish your purpose in life. As it is, if life right now seems lifeless and dead, this is the time to dream. A time to dream with a purpose to make it a reality will never be a wasted time.
But what if, the right time seemed to passed you by and there's no way that you can bring those glorious days back. Ephesians 5:16 tells us to "redeem the time". This passage only tells us that although you can never buy your passed time with your money, you can always buy it with the good opportunities that come you way.
But how do we know if it is the right time? Surely, most people would be afraid to act thinking that they might be doing what they ought to do on a wrong time. Again, we must be reminded that God is good and therefore, would not complicate lives for us. Recognize that in every "season", an activity is bound to happen or done. And when you understand the "time" that you are in, begin to act accordingly. Success in fulfilling your purpose is to act relevantly to the circumstances that the time has called for.
