God's time is perfect
My beloved community of @steemchurch is always important to talk about time, thanks to time, we can organize the events sequentially: a past, a present and a future. We generally use the calendar and the clock as the main instruments to measure time. God commands us to use our time wisely (Colossians 4: 5, Ephesians 5: 15-16). Perhaps in our day to day we are present these words? Are we aware of what it means to know how to use time?
Time is life. When you give your time to someone or something, you are giving your life. When you waste time, you're wasting your life. When you use your time well, you use your life well. "God gives us life, but the devil tries to destroy that life"(John 10:10).
In the bible, on different occasions we are taught that God is the owner of time and that we must know how to use it, according to his will.
Everything has its time, and everything that is wanted under the sky has its time. Time to be born, and time to die; planting time, and time to start the planting; time to kill, and time to heal; a time to destroy, and a time to build; time to cry, and time to laugh; time to lament, and time to dance; the time to spread stones, and the time to gather stones; time to embrace, and time to refrain from embracing; time to search, and time to lose; time to keep, and time to throw away; time to break, and time to sew; time to keep silent, and time to speak; time to love, and time to hate; time of war, and time of peace. (Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8)We must understand that God has control of everything. Things will happen at the moment that God wants and considers opportune. What is really important is that we should make the most of our time in this earthly life to fulfill God's will as fully as possible. The only way to be able to lead a life taking advantage of the opportunities that God gives us is to fill our hearts with the Spirit of God. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance; against such things there is no law "(Gal 5: 22-23)
"The first step in using your time well is to listen to God" (Ephesians 5:17). That is what we must be clear that to take advantage of time we must be full of love, peace, patience, kindness, faith, joy, and follow the will of God.
On the other hand, many poets and thinkers also consider time as the most incalculable treasure that human beings have. That is why we should know that time does not forgive, does not wait, simply happens and then unintentionally punishes us. At the time I sing to him, at the time I write to him, to that time that leaves, that escapes inexorably taking with himself the childhood, the youth, to the dear beings that we do not enjoy.
It is normal in human beings that when we have a problem we remember God, we pray and we ask God for a solution; always waiting for a quick solution, but waiting for God's response we despair, anxiety take hold of us and we even claim God. Brother the big difference is that he is not responding according to our time, he sees the whole picture, also knows the future and knows our hearts, and gives us the answer to our request when he considers it better and also in the best way for him , let's not forget that he loves us above all and will always grant us the best.
That is what God's words about taking advantage of time are. Let us not leave without living in harmony with ourselves and our fellow men, fulfilling the will of God, enjoying our loved ones being alive and giving value to shared moments, and all do not waste time in feeding bad feelings that obscure our soul.
The devil has many ways to destroy our lives. "Most people waste a large part of their lives out of fear ... fear of running out of money ... fear of what others think of them ... fear of going hungry ... fear of dying. They spend their time working for the money to try to solve these fears. They are not free to do what God really wants them to do because they fear that God will command them to do something that will alienate them from their true goal and their true god: money "(Romans 6:16). "Working for money brings you death, but accepting the privilege of working for love would bring you eternal life."(Romans 6:23; Luke 16:13)
Do not waste your time, live do not die, do not lean your efforts to money because you will die and you will only see that you lost your time, God will provide everything we need, we should only have faith, love and trust in his power, do not let your heart be filled of ambition for money, value the time you spend with others, at the end of our lives that's what it's worth.
In Matthew 2: 7-21 we can see how God has complete control of time. The Lord never acts before his time (Matthew 8: 28-30) so we must always be prepared for his coming. Being prepared does not mean that God is going to tell us the day of his coming (Matthew 16: 1-4), and every day we must do what pleases God.
Knowing the will of God can help us to distribute our time in what God wants us to do, knowing that He always gives us opportunities to do everything in his time, without forgetting that we must include preparing ourselves for certain things that He himself demands of us. .
Community of @steemchurch we learn that taking advantage of time is, knowing how to squeeze every moment, is to live it. Most of the time we are where we do not want to be, we do what we do not want, and in situations like that, we just waste time. Making the most of it, means that we decide what to do, how, when and with whom, because only we have the faculty to manage our time and know how to live it with the MAXIMO DE PROVECHO, doing the will of God, since he is the owner of time and He is the one who is in control, that is why the phrase
"God's time is perfect".

The Bible reminds us on different occasions that there is a time for everything and that God owns this time. Things happen in God's perfect time, not before or after.
Thank you @steemchuch, for being a promoter of the word of God, who determines our time, he always accompanies us all the time. Many successes in his crusade for the love of God, for the welfare of the most needy. I join in this whole project.
