He has made everything beautiful in its time.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NKJV)
Among Christians, a favorite verse of Scripture is Romans
8:28:
And we know that God causes all things to work together for
good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
The key part of the verse is "work together." That
verse does not say "all things are good"---just as Solomon's comment
does not say "everything is beautiful." It says, "All things are
good as they work together for His purpose." This says, "He makes
everything beautiful in its time."
And I've got news for those who struggle with God's timing.
You may not live to see God's time completely fulfilled. You may live to a ripe
old age, carry out your reason for existence, and die before the full program
of God has reached its ultimate and completed purpose. But His promise stands.
He will make everything beautiful in its time.
