We thank you, O God! We give thanks because you are near."); document.writeln("People everywhere tell of your wonderful deeds. God says, \'€śAt the time I have"); document.writeln("planned, I will bring justice against the wicked.\'€ť1

Our lives are controlled by time. We put important events"); document.writeln("in our calendars, try to get to bed at a certain time every night, and set our"); document.writeln("alarms so we are not late to work in the morning. With each birthday, we"); document.writeln("celebrate another year of life. When we were young, a year seemed like an"); document.writeln("eternity, but now that we are older, time seems to fly by! We depend on clocks"); document.writeln("and calendars to help us keep our lives in order.

"); document.writeln("

There is nothing wrong with wanting to be on time or"); document.writeln("keeping order of our days, but it becomes a problem when we try to limit God to"); document.writeln("our understanding of time. We expect answers to our prayers within our \'€śreasonable"); document.writeln("timeframe\'€ť, and measure the goodness of God based on how quickly he responds. We"); document.writeln("pray for our world as we see sin go unpunished, while good people suffer. We begin"); document.writeln("to doubt and question God because he is not acting according to our sense of"); document.writeln("timing. However, God is not bound by time. The only time that can relate to God"); document.writeln("is that he knows the \'€śright\'€ť time for all things that happen to us or around"); document.writeln("us. He is a good Judge and will bring justice against the wicked in His time. He"); document.writeln("hears every prayer and cry from his children, and will answer according to His"); document.writeln("will. He is working all things for our good!

"); document.writeln("

God is near, He is always good, and His perfect time can be"); document.writeln("trusted. When we begin to grow impatient, let us imitate the psalmist and thank"); document.writeln("God for all of His wonderful deeds!

"); document.writeln("

Suggested prayer: Dear God, Thank you for the beautiful moments I get to spend with"); document.writeln("my family and friends. Help me live each moment to the fullest and may all I do"); document.writeln("bring you glory. Thank you, also, that nothing goes unnoticed by you. In Your"); document.writeln("perfect time, you will make all things new, and You alone will judge the"); document.writeln("actions of the good and evil. In the name of Jesus I pray, amen.
