Trust His Timing

✨ January Theme: Set My Course

🕊️ Welcome Moment

Life rarely unfolds on the schedule we imagine. Some seasons feel painfully slow, others rush by too quickly, and many arrive without warning. Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds you that every moment—every beginning, every ending, every in‑between—has a purpose in God’s hands.

Today, breathe deeply and allow your heart to rest in this truth:
You don’t have to control the timing. You only have to trust the One who does.

📖 Scripture Immersion

Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV)
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.”

Read it slowly, letting the rhythm of the words settle your spirit.

🌄 Snapshot

Imagine a traveler standing at the edge of a field in early spring. The soil is freshly turned, the seeds planted, but the ground looks unchanged. Days pass. Weeks pass. Still, nothing breaks through the surface.

But beneath the soil, life is forming—quietly, steadily, unseen.
Roots are stretching.
Strength is building.
Timing is unfolding.

Then one morning, a small green shoot appears. Not early. Not late.
Right on time.

This is how God works in your life.
Even when you see nothing, He is doing something.
Even when the season feels still, He is preparing what comes next.

🔍 Deep Dive

“There is a time for everything…”
God is not random. He is intentional. Every season—joyful or difficult—has meaning in His design.

“…and a season for every activity under the heavens.”
Your life is not a single moment. It is a series of seasons, each shaping you for what comes next.

Seasons teach you:

Patience in waiting
Wisdom in listening
Strength in enduring
Gratitude in receiving
Surrender in trusting

As you Set Your Course this January, remember:
You are not behind.
You are not late.
You are exactly where God has placed you for this moment.
