This is a valid metaphorical question in my life right now. Do the trains really run on time, or am I just early?
Sometimes I feel like I have been waiting at life's platform for an opportunity train to come along for what seems to be an eternity! Finally when the train finally arrives, I usually don't want to get onboard because I am over it, or I am frustrated at how long it took to get there.
So I was talking to a friend at Tabor last thursday and we were talking about opportunities that God brings along and stuff and we were talking about one of the things that he really wants to do in the future, and he said to me "well it's all in God's timing, not mine." It's a phrase or statement that as a Christian I heard said over and over for years. I asked him if he actually knew what that meant. Then I asked myself if I actually knew what it meant. So I started thinking about what it does mean... I was looking at my blogger here... Trains Run on Time and I got a picture. When I am standing at the platform waiting for that opportunity train, I am looking at my time table. All the arrival times are the times that I created. I didn't take into account whether or not I had the right fair, the neccessary luggage for my journey or my destination... I just made the timetable fit what I wanted to do. But that's not the way it works. God creates the timetable that the Trains run to. He knows exactly when I will have the right fair, or have the preparations done, and anything else that I might need. It's at that point that the train is schedualed to arrive, not a minute before, and not a minute after. It's my responsability to be at the platform waiting for it.
So there you have it, the Trains really do Run on time

keep seeking it all out sweetheart. i think god is telling you a lot of stuff that will resolve a lot of issues from the last few years for you. god is all about clarity (but in his timing).
