Timing is everything.
And God’s timing is perfect.
We had a brilliant blue shock of color ambush us today in our
studio garden. The garden is a bit
subdued now, pulling up its autumn blanket of amber, terra-cotta and subdued
browns. There’s a slumbering
beauty here that you have to look for carefully. Imagine our splash -you -in -the -face -morning surprise at finding this perky little sprite. A solitary, bright blue cornflower saying
“hello!” Where was this little
blossom in the springtime? And why
on earth did she decide to bloom now?
She bloomed now because THIS was her time. If
she had come a little earlier, she would have simply been lost in hundreds of
other blooms. In a sea of blazing
blue, she would never have been appreciated like she is now. God wanted her to
shine and He picked this time for her
to bloom. It’s the perfect time
for her to bloom and she’s celebrated just about every moment of each day! How can you miss her???
This brilliant blue cornflower has made us think about how
perfect God’s timing is in our lives.
We sometimes wonder why things haven’t happened in the time frame we
imagined, why things seem delayed in coming and when the answers to our hopes,
dreams and silent whispered
prayers will ever come. When these
thoughts surface, we press in and trust this promise of God’s timing:
“For the
vision (dream, future event, revelation) is for the appointed time; It hastens
toward the goal and it will not fail.
Though it tarries, wait for it; For it
will certainly come, it will not
delay.” Habakkuk 2:3
So, for all you fellow believers, dreamers and
trusting-in-God’s-timers, we hope our little blue flower blazes a message of
hope and inspiration into your hearts. God’s timing is always perfect.
Brilliant blue smiles,
The Velvet Lime Girls
