THE SET TIME HAS COME
Psalms 37:23 NLT
The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.
The story is told of a man who rushed into a railway station one morning and, almost breathlessly, asked the ticket man: “when does the 8:01 train leave?”
“At 8:01 was the answer. “Well,” the man replied, “it is 7:59 by my watch, 7:57 by the town clock, and 8:04 by the station clock. Which time am I to go by?” “You can go by any clock you wish,” said the agent, “but you cannot go by the 8:01 train, for it has already left.”
My prayer for 2024 is to be in-step with God. I will neither rely on my clock nor the public clock. No. Not even the office Clock. I will focus on God's timing because I do not want to miss the train.
Consider the words of David in Psalms 37:24 NLT,
"Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand"
The last time I checked, Solomon had the following to advance,
" I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all"
Ecclesiastes 9:11 KJV
Which clock are you relying on in 2024?
