June 19: Trust God’s Timing

Scripture:
“He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.”
— Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NKJV)

5 Points:

  1. God’s timing creates beauty beyond human plans.
  2. We live in the tension between time and eternity.
  3. Trust means accepting mystery where we cannot see.
  4. God’s work is comprehensive, even if unseen by us.
  5. Waiting on God turns chaos into beauty.

Poem: The Beauty of His Time

You spin the stars in hidden ways.
You stretch the days with unseen hands.
You plant seeds I cannot name.
You weave stories beyond my sight.
You shape beauty in the unseen hours.

My heart beats to earthly clocks.
I worry over seconds and days.
But you move to deeper songs.
You grow gardens in frozen ground.
You polish stones in rushing streams.

You do not hurry though I rush.
You do not delay though I fear.
You finish what you begin in love.
You craft the time with tender hands.
You hold the days without dropping one.

I will trust the seasons you set.
I will wait for the bloom you promised.
You will not forget the planted prayers.
You will not waste the winter waits.
You will make it beautiful in time.

Today I let go of my clocks.
Today I breathe in your slower ways.
You write eternity into my longing.
You hold the beginning and the end.
You are the beauty I cannot lose.

Daily Prayer:
“Father, help me trust Your timing today and see the beauty You are creating.”
