Ecc 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time for every purpose under the heavens:


GOD the Father is in control of time

Act 1:7 And He said to them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father has put in His own authority.



God makes everything happen at the right time

Ecc 3:11 God makes everything happen at the right time. Yet none of us can ever fully understand all he has done, and he puts questions in our minds about the past and the future. (CEV)

Ecc 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in His time; also He has set eternity in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end. (MKJV)



God has set a time and a place for everything

Ecc 3:17 So I told myself that God has set a time and a place for everything. He will judge everyone, both the wicked and the good.



A time and season for everything

Ecc 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time for every purpose under the heavens:
Ecc 3:2 a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pull up what is planted;
Ecc 3:3 a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
Ecc 3:4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
Ecc 3:5 a time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
Ecc 3:6 a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to throw away;
Ecc 3:7 a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
Ecc 3:8 a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.



Prophecies and Visions have appointed times set by God


Hab 2:2 And the LORD answered me and said, Write the vision, and make it plain on the tablets, that he who reads it may run.
Hab 2:3 For the vision is still for an appointed time, but it speaks to the end, and it does not lie. Though it lingers, wait for it; because it will surely come. It will not tarry.



God sent his Son when the time was right


Gal 4:4 But when the time was right, God sent his Son, and a woman gave birth to him. His Son obeyed the Law,
Gal 4:5 so he could set us free from the Law, and we could become God's children.
Gal 4:6 Now that we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts. And his Spirit tells us that God is our Father.

1Ti 2:4 God wants everyone to be saved and to know the whole truth, which is,
1Ti 2:5 There is only one God, and Christ Jesus is the only one who can bring us to God. Jesus was truly human, and he gave himself to rescue all of us.
1Ti 2:6 God showed us this at the right time.
1Ti 2:7 This is why God chose me to be a preacher and an apostle of the good news. I am telling the truth. I am not lying. God sent me to teach the Gentiles about faith and truth.



time of Christ's return - decided by God the Father

Mar 13:32 But of that day and hour no one knows, no, not the angels in Heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.

Mat 24:36 But of that day and hour no one knows, no, not the angels of Heaven, but only My Father.
Mat 24:37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall be the coming of the Son of Man.

1Ti 6:14 Promise to obey completely and fully all that you have been told until our Lord Jesus Christ returns.
1Ti 6:15 The glorious God is the only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords. At the time that God has already decided, he will send Jesus Christ back again.




Hopes, prayers, answers, honor: according to God's due time


Rom 8:24 For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen is not hope; for what anyone sees, why does he also hope for it?
Rom 8:25 But if we hope for that which we do not see, then we wait for it with patience.

Tit 1:2 Then they will have the hope of eternal life that God promised long ago. And God never tells a lie!
Tit 1:3 So, at the proper time, God our Savior gave this message and told me to announce what he had said.

Psa 69:13 But I pray to you, LORD. So when the time is right, answer me and help me with your wonderful love.

Psa 40:1 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and He bowed down to me, and heard my cry.

1Pe 5:6 Be humble in the presence of God's mighty power, and he will honor you when the time comes.

Pro 27:18 Whoever keeps the fig tree shall eat its fruit; so he who waits on his master shall be honored.




wait on the LORD

Isa 40:31 but those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

Psa 25:5 Lead me in Your truth, and teach me; for You are the God of my salvation; on You I wait all the day long.

Psa 25:21 Let purity and uprightness keep me; for I wait on You.

Psa 130:5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in His Word I hope.

Lam 3:25 The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.

Mic 7:7 Therefore I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me!

Psa 37:7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; do not fret yourself because of him who prospers in his way, because of him who practices wickedness.

Pro 20:22 Do not say, I will repay evil; wait on the LORD, and He will save you.




Blessed is he who waits

Dan 12:12 Blessed is he who waits and comes to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

Jas 5:7 Therefore be patient, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth and has long patience for it, until he receives the early and the latter rain.




when the time is right, God will do all that he has planned


Eph 1:10 Then when the time is right, God will do all that he has planned, and Christ will bring together everything in heaven and on earth.
Eph 1:11 God always does what he plans, and that's why he appointed Christ to choose us.

Rev 10:7 God told his secret plans to his servants the prophets, and it will all happen by the time the seventh angel sounds his trumpet."




Time of harvest

Mat 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest. And in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, First gather together the darnel and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my granary.




Time for judgment

Rev 14:7 The angel shouted, "Worship and honor God! The time has come for him to judge everyone. Kneel down before the one who created heaven and earth, the oceans, and every stream."

2Pe 2:4 God did not have pity on the angels that sinned. He had them tied up and thrown into the dark pits of hell until the time of judgment.




End of prophecies and the perfect thing comes

1Co 13:8 Charity never fails. But if there are prophecies, they will be abolished; if tongues, they shall cease; if knowledge, it will be abolished.
1Co 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
1Co 13:10 But when the perfect thing comes, then that which is in part will be caused to cease.

When the time comes, the moment arrives, God will be glorified. For now, I'll wait on the Lord because He loves me.

You've given a wonderful array of Scriptural truth and so many are simple reminders that God is in control, is faithful to care for His children, and is sovereign indeed.

Thank you for condensing these for us - just 'scroll and point', and there will be a beautiful truth.

hi Petronilla Nkechi,

That's what I believe too - GOD'S time is the best. Many instances in my life have I experienced hardships that try to shake my faith in God but still I believe these are all coming together for the good of those who love God. (Romans 8:28)

I believe that Gods time is the best. We only need the patience and grace of God to wait. tnx
