I’m sure most are familiar with the little clichés, “playing it close”; “playing it to the minute”; or “playing it down to the wire.” Well, that’s what God does. It’s nerve-racking, and most of us would prefer that He do things way ahead of time, but that’s not the way He works. Saul lost everything because he couldn’t wait till the last minute (1Sam.13:8-14).
Admittedly, it can be scary when all is at stake. I just read again the story in the Old Testament of Haman’s plans to hang Mordecai (Esther 6). Within a moment of time God turned the tables, so to speak, in Mordecai’s favour. You talk about getting out of something “by the skin of your teeth!” Only faith in God’s faithfulness can take one up to the wire; “figgerin” will always fail you.
We need to synchronize our clocks with God’s time piece. Ours is always five minutes ahead of His time.
