For the past week, I went to Salt Lake City, Utah in order to participate in the Internationals Careers Development Conference for DECA. Even though my judges loved me and praised me a lot, I didn't make finals and well...it kind of sucked. But, before I went on the trip, I wrote in my friend's baptism card, "Let's make it our goal to talk to at least one person about Christ."
Needless to say, that goal became an afterthought in the back of my head. Sure, I met a lot of new people, a few that were Christians, I didn't feel the urge to suddenly talk about Christ. And lo and behold, halfway through the trip, I remembered my promise to God. I didn't urgently try to find someone to talk about Christ; I just didn't. I couldn't explain it.
On the last night, during our semi-formal, while everyone was dancing, I was sitting down. I hated these kind of clubbing environments. I never danced with a guy before and that kind of dancing was really not what I had in mind. I started talking to someone whom I recognized throughout the trip and we finally introduced each other. Due to the loudness of the room, he invited me outside to talk and we did. And, as the title says, God's timing worked perfectly. The last night, I talked to someone who really hadn't heard the story of Christ before.
Sometimes, we want to rush things. Everything is so instant now. Microwaves, heaters, cars, wi-fi -there's really no end to things that are fast. And things are being built to be faster and faster. But just as Israelites left Egypt according to God's timing, we have to trust in his timing. At the moment, there are a lot of things in my life where I ask God, why can't it happen sooner. But I must trust in God's timing wholeheartedly. Our life is barely a fleck of dust in his eyes, so how much do you think a few days is to him?

God’s timetable may move slowly, but it does move surely.
