Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.

The time when something happens…

The proper time for things is God’s time, not ours.  We are usually in a hurry, but God never is.  We are often impatient and ready for everything to happen right now, but God, in his wisdom, prepares us first for what He wants to do in our lives, and preparation takes time.

God takes time to things right-He lays a solid foundation before He attempts to build a building.  We are God’s building under construction.  He is the Master Builder, and He knows what He is doing.

God’s timing seems to be His own little secret.  The Bible promises that He will never be late, but we have discovered that He is usually not early.  The good thing to know is that He is always right on time, and His timing is perfect.

And let us not loose hear and grow weary and faint in acting noble and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint.

Galatians 6:9
