Thoughts for another day

Today's verse: Eccl. 3:1. To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)
When we see the world with so much despair and nonsense, we wonder what is to be. We read the Bible and learn our God is good and all good comes through Him. When we take this in the context of the way the world is, we’re a bit confused and wonder, is this the way it’s meant to be. Some of us are so disturbed to even have a problem with God and among them are many pious people with unease in their hearts by the kind of people who live on the surface of the earth, yet they’re not able to do anything and besides, their continuous prayer avails not much.
But God is on His throne and He reigns. He is aware of all that’s happening in His world. Each thing is crystal clear to Him and He knows everything. Yes, He is aware of the wrong done to the poor by the rich and powerful. He knows the injustice done to the weak and to those who love Him. He is acquainted with the wickedness of the mighty and the atrocities they commit on the weaker people. He is also conscious of the cries of the innocent being subjected to crimes they haven’t committed. He knows all and so we wonder: why doesn’t He act?
To get an answer, we need to look at the life of Jesus Christ. He began Ministry at the age of 30 and was crucified at 33 after which He ascended into heaven. Why 30 you might ask; that’s because of God’s time. He appoints a certain time for a thing to happen. He knows it’s the best time for that thing and in that time the thing comes to pass; never before, never later. That’s the way God sets things and that’s the way they happen. But to you and me, God has given miracles and because of His abundant love for us and the genuine cry of our heart, He twists time and does it either earlier or later. So just put your trust in Him and explain your situation (yes, I know He knows our situation but He just loves to hear it from us) and He will redress it.
