"GOD'S Timetable Is Not OURS"

Today. they say, is "the first FULL day of Spring," and the weather is Rainy.  Damp.  Drizzly.

In a word........... "Icky."

And knowing human nature as I do, I'm sure there are some who are wondering "Doesn't God know it's SPRING yet?"  We tend to forget, it is MAN who said that Spring officially began yesterday at 5:56 pm, and it is MAN who says that today is "the first full day of Spring."  God, in His Infallible Word, never said that.  All God promised is that as long as the earth endures, there WILL be Spring (Genesis 8:22.)  He never said exactly when it begins, or how long it will last, or how Spring-y the weather will be, once it comes.  And perhaps the "unSpringlike" weather here in my part of N.J. on this "first full day of Spring" in 2019 serves as a good reminder about another, more important issue.  (At least it does to ME.)

GOD'S TIMETABLE IS NOT OURS REGARDING WHEN SPRING WILL KICK IN OR WHEN JESUS WILL RETURN, EITHER.

You see, as it states that Spring will return, but not exactly WHEN, Scripture promises that Jesus WILL return......but it doesn't say WHEN.  Oh, there are certainly "signs" that His Return is drawing closer...absolutely!! Just like the days being longer now clue us in that SPRING is drawing closer.

But "no man knows the day or the hour" of Christ's return..not even Jesus, Himself (Matthew 24:36.)  Sadly, throughout church history there have been fools who thought they could predict, with certainty, WHEN He'd return and that is even more unwise than thinking that Spring LITERALLY began at 5:56 pm yesterday, and so therefore weather must "act" like Spring weather now or else God somehow failed.

I learned yesterday that supposedly, a NEW prediction is out there saying that Donald Trump is "the last trump" mentioned in the Bible before Jesus returns ...people trying to hold GOD to our American four year election cycle now!!

When will we learn?? Spring will come when GOD says it will come!! And, it will!! There is no sense impatiently asking "Where is the Spring weather He promised" because HE never promised Spring weather ON "the first full day of Spring."

Christ will return when GOD THE FATHER says He will return...and He will!! It's no use to ask "Where is the promise of His coming?" (2 Peter 3:4), just believe that He WILL come and be ready to greet Him with as many others as you can help prepare for The Day when He arrives.  Above all, remember...GOD'S timetable is not OURS!!
