\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>and a season for every activity under the heavens.” Ecclesiastes 3:1<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nI am currently listening to “When, The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing”\u00a0 by Daniel H. Pink.\u00a0 I find it fascinating the things people commit their lives too.\u00a0 This entire book is about the study of time.
\nI’m about half way through it.\u00a0 I have two thoughts as I’m listening to this book.\u00a0 The first is, quite honestly, don’t you have anything better to do than study time?\u00a0 The second is, you can’t put God in a box.
\nYou know who has perfect timing?\u00a0 It’s God.\u00a0 Hands down, best timing ever!
\nSo far, according to this book, there is a best time to think, there is a best time to exercise, there is a best time to take a nap.\u00a0 If you optimize their studies and apply it to your life, you’ll learn how to live your life in a way that will always allow you to operate at peak performance.
\nHogwash!
\nI’m not disagreeing that on an average day, I probably do make better decisions in the morning versus the afternoon when I’m not quite as fresh.\u00a0 It makes sense if you want to lose weight, exercise in the morning before you eat and you’ll burn fat.\u00a0 I believe an afternoon catnap can make you more productive the rest of the day.\u00a0 These are all good points.
\nBut God isn’t a point.\u00a0 He is the Creator with a plan!
\nRomans 8:28 tells us all things work to the good for those who believe and trust in the Lord.\u00a0 You know what that tells me?\u00a0 That even if at 4:12 in the afternoon, when I am tired from an already long day, God can use any decision I make to the good.
\nSee, I’ve learned in the 40 some years I’ve been walking with God, admittedly sometimes closer than others,\u00a0 Romans 8:28 is true.\u00a0 He does use all things to the good for those who believe and trust in Him.
\nHe has used my fumbling’s, my blundering’s in ways I can’t even imagine.\u00a0 In fact, I would go so far to say those have impacted people’s lives more than the things I’ve done right.\u00a0 And the pains I’ve endured in this lifetime, not a one of them He hasn’t used to help others, in ways I wouldn’t of imagined.
\nI’ll finish the book.\u00a0 I hate to leave a book unfinished.\u00a0 I’ll glean some valuable tips from it.\u00a0 But I know, if you truly want to have perfect timing you have to trust God for it.\u00a0 No human on earth will ever find a formula to trump it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
