Last night my daughter was searching around on YouTube for new Christian songs and she came across a song by Aaron Cole called Right on Time. One of the lyrics in the song is...Love is always right on time.
God is love, and he is always right on time. A few years ago I was in a very stressful situation where I really needed God to come through and during that time he taught me that he is always on time. During that time my daughter was practicing the piano on an app that tracked her playing. She was playing the correct notes but she was playing them too early and the app wasn't giving her any credit for playing the correct note.
As this was happening God began to teach me that he is never early and never late... always right on time. He began to teach me that our lives are like a beautiful song and if he played the right note too early it wouldn't sound right. God has a perfect timing and rhythm for everything and it's still amazing too me that he gives us the opportunity to partner and get into his rhythm with him. We can enter into his rhythm, but it does take trust.
Love is always on time, but God's love is also in us. One of the ways we can become more like God is by being on time ourselves.
In today's communion it's a time of thankfulness for God's timing in our lives, but it's also a time of asking for his help to always be on time ourselves so that we become more like him. Part of walking in love with others is being on time.
I am praying for you.
Daniel
