Psalm 31:15

My times are in Your hand; 
Psalm 31:15


I had twenty-three people for dinner tonight. I've been serving the same meal every Good Friday for about eight years. I should know from experience the order of what needs prepared and at what time so that we can eat at five o'clock in order to leave by six-thirty for our Good Friday evening church service. However, my timing is always off. Either I'm rushing around trying to get the food done or I'm having to keep it warm in the oven, with the possibility of it drying out or even burning. 
God's timing, on the other hand, is perfect. Thankfully. As we were taking Luke to soccer practice on a windy evening the other night, we came upon a huge tree in the middle of the road. I had just driven the same road thirty minutes prior. And, we had only a few minutes before that passed my dad and Hannah going home from her soccer practice. All of us had barely missed getting hit by that enormous tree. This made us well aware of and very thankful for His perfect timing.
