Time is advancing you to what you have been praying for. Please do not allow your created pressure, anxiety, and impatience to cause you to judge God foolishly!As a reminder, every purpose is governed by times and seasons, Eccl. 3:1. Therefore, it will make no difference how many times we ask God for a particular thing or how loud we scream for it in prayer. The law of "Time and seasons" governs the time and season in which it will be revealed. All of us have an assigned amount of time to exist on the earth, and within that time frame, there are certain things that all of us will experience.
Before any of the events I will mention can happen, we must first exist—quite obvious, right? That's why Ecclesiastes 3:2 begins by stating, "There is a time to be born and a time to die." Essentially, we are given a specific period and season on earth, from birth to death, to fulfill a particular purpose. However, accomplishing that purpose will involve specific experiences that, regardless of what your purpose is, you will encounter and need to handle.
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace, Eccl. 3:2-8.
I said all of that to get to this straightforward but often overlooked point: nothing is forever. The truth of this post is very real for those who have recently lost loved ones. It is during such times of death that we quickly realize that all of us and all things will someday be referred to in the past tense... meaning their time has expired!
Scripture further tells us that, "A wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment, Eccl 8:5. Simply put, a man who understands the law of "time and seasons" recognizes that, along with time being assigned to everything, there is also a judgment that accompanies it. We are accountable for the time given to our purpose. This is why we are commanded to redeem the time: the days are evil (Eph 5:16).
I want to advise someone to stop wasting time and focus on doing what God has placed you on earth to do, using the scriptural tools in Ecclesiastes 3:2-8 to fulfill your purpose. The day will come, just like for those who have gone before us, when you and I will have to stand before the supreme judge of time and give an account of how we maximized and managed our allotted time and fulfilled His purpose on earth.
