Pursuing the Wandering Christian

In C.S. Lewis’s classic series, The Chronicles of Narnia, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucie wander into a magical world called Narnia. It was created by the powerful and mysterious Aslan, but is currently ruled by an evil witch, Jadis. The four are staying in the house of the Beavers when Edmund wanders off. Let’s listen to how they think they can help him, but how Mr. Beaver suggests best helping find Edmund. While Peter thinks they need to immediately go and find Edmund, Mr. Beaver urges them to find Aslan, the only hope for Edmund who has wandered off to her - to the white witch. 

God's Perfect Timing

 "Timing is everything." It's an old adage, and certainly guilty of overstatement. Yet, the Bible affirms the benefit of timing things well. For instance, Solomon reminds us that "A person finds joy in giving an apt reply - and how good is a timely word!," (Proverbs 15:23). Think of how good, "Will you marry me?" fits when it is spoken to the right person at the right time.

As good as humans can be at saying or doing the right thing at the right time, God is infinitely better. While God is not limited by time or space, He is by no means unfamiliar with the concept of time. He invented time, and the progression of moments serves Him and His purposes.
