Acts 1: 6-7 "So when they met together, they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel? He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority."
I was browsing the web the other day and came across the Death Clock. What is the death clock you may ask? You plug some personal info into their form...and out pops the date that you are more than likely going to die. I was intrigued by this in light of today's verse... does anybody but God know when things are going to happen? I think not.
Look at today's verse...the disciples were asking Jesus if He was going to set things right...regain control over the land and lift Israel up to it's rightful place...and how did He respond? He told them it was not their business to know the time or date...that only His Father in Heaven had control over that...
That's important to remember this morning. How much worry would it save you to know that God knows the time and dates of things...when you're getting married...when you're time is up...when that stock is going to come back around...when your baby will take his first step... only GOD knows when. I get asked all the time...WHEN?!? When is God going to take action? When is Jesus coming back? When will life get better?
Just trust. Trust that God has all of the times and dates and will allow things to happen at the absolute perfect time. After we have learned His intended lesson...after we demonstrate our faith...after we learn that He is in control...after we live our life remembering that we don't have to be God.
Concerned about times and dates? Don't worry...God's got the Master calendar...let Him reveal to us in His time what He wants.
See you tomorrow,
Pastor Brian
