Beautiful in its’ Time
By Susan Vaughan Shumake
Ecclesiastes 3:11
“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.”
*****
He has made everything beautiful in its’ time.
I am who God created me to be,
yet I am not who I will become.
Today, I am exactly where God wants me.
I cannot move ahead at a faster pace,
nor can I choose to change my place.
I cannot turn back time to yesterday
And my tomorrows will always arrive, as another today.
I am in the center of God’s will right here, right now.
His eternal time clock has set my course in divine measure.
I cannot arrive at its end too soon, nor can I be late.
His perfect purpose has already been set in motion.
There are blessings behind and there are blessings ahead,
yet I cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
He has given me life and breath and today.
Therefore, I can rest in this truth in peace, and be thankful.
He has made everything beautiful in its time.
