The Bible on Trial

Right Time~

For those of us that have lived a reasonable length of time on this earth one of the axioms of living that life is that we finally realize that when it is the right time for something to happen, it happens. A child wants what they want, and they want it right now. The term 'wait patiently' is an oxymoron for a 3 year old child. Growing up entails a good deal of waiting for certain things to happen, things that can't be rushed. Perspective of time shows us that wnen that 'good thing' that we have waited (and longed) for finally comes along, we can more often than not see that to try to advance the occurance is most likely a 'fools errand'. One of my favorite descriptive sayings that expresses this idea is, "It does no good to try to teach a pig to sing; It wastes your time, and annoys the pig"! In trying to rush either a developmental or emotional step by skipping over it often means having to go back an do it over  again later in order to gain the full value of what is was supposed to have occurred in the propher order.

We are right now in this world at one of those seminal moments when those of us that know about and have waited patiently for an event to happen that will change the world for the better in an amazingly dramatic manner are still waiting. This event is so close that we can almost taste it. Yet this event that will change the world for the better has not yet happened. We believe it past time for it to have occurred, yet it is still not here. Now is the time for us to demonstrate '"the patience of the saints", the patience that passes all understanding, to know that rushing the result will be much worse than letting it happen in it's own time. Waiting patiently is exclusively an adult endeavor, and not for the faint of heart,

The reward for this adult activity is almost upon us, and the last thing that you want is to miss by trying to rush it.
