Perfect timing.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Proverbs 9:10
How much do we know about our Creator?
How much are we supposed to know?
Answer: We know what He has revealed and shown us, and what God tells us is what we're supposed to know.
I think most of us are less afraid of something when we know more about it. When we know how it works and operates we're more willing to try it, maybe.
I tend to ask a lot, "Why didn't I think of this earlier?" or, "Why didn't you tell me this before God?"
Hmmmmm....why didn't He?
Another question is, how could He tell you something at the wrong time or when it's too late if His timing is perfect? He never tells us things or fills us in at the wrong time 'cause He's the one with the plan! Do we have a plan? Perhaps, however our plan could NEVER be as perfect as God's plan!
In our human nature we want to know every little detail every minute. But, that would take out the learning and excitement of the future! Who wants to do that?
Plus, if God fills us in later that means it's not too late!
Not too late? But it's done!
Not if God says it's not!
Since God knows our future He knows when we're gonna fall and mess up, He also knows (as should we) that it's never too late to fix a mistake.
Got a friend you got in a big fight with say.....a year ago? Well, God says, it's not too late.
Got a sibling you put blame on for something you did a week ago? God says, it's not too late.
I think God should know when it's too late.
God reveals bits and pieces to us when we're ready and willing to receive them. Sometimes what He tells us is to share or is specifically for us. I think it takes wisdom and listening to God to know which it's for.
Oh, and guess what, sometimes you won't understand what he tells you at first, but that's okay! God will give you understanding when the time is right.
Wisdom and understanding are two different things, however both are extremely important in our walk with God! We need to pray for it, not just expect it to just come.
I find myself throughout the day praying for wisdom is some areas and understanding in others, even in math. ;)
And He's giving them to me. :)
