Psalm 56 - God's Timing


August 08, 2016 Monday Message:

“In God I trust and am not afraid. What can man do to me?” Psalms 56:1 NIV

If God is on your side, what’s the worst that could happen? If someone tried to take your life, you’d get to see Jesus sooner, so that’s not all bad, is it?

Is your glass half full or half empty? If life hands you a lemon, can you make lemonade? Here, David is making lemonade.

Paul said it like this: “Living means living for Christ, and dying is even better. I’m torn between the two desires.” from Philippians 1

In the end, both David and Paul continue with their callings, serving the Lord as He dictates, and that’s what we should do too. When it’s time to return home to the father, to go to heaven, that will be good too. God holds the chronometer of our lives, and in the end, God’s timing will be the best way for our lives to progress.

We should serve the Lord with gladness, and then God will decide when it is time for us to come home.
