“And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. And he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.” - Mark 1:34, ESV.

If the timing is off on your car, it will not run well. I’m not sure how that works, but I know it's true. I recently drove a car with the engine out of the correct timing sequence to a dealership to sell. That trip was neither fun nor easy. At every light, I had to put the car in park and rev the engine just so it would not stall. The trip was more than a little stressful.

God’s timing is important, too. When Jesus began His ministry, he healed people and cast out demons from their bodies. But he did not let those demons identify who He was. It wasn’t time for the divinity of Jesus to be revealed. God had a plan, and Jesus would not jump in front of His timing.

Sometimes we want to jump God’s timing in our lives, as if we know better how our lives should run. But when we do that, the timing isn't right, and our lives just don't go as well. We have to stop and fix things we messed up when we try to force things to happen before it’s time.

We should slow down and allow God to work things out in His own time. Not that we can be lazy. That’s not the right thing to do either. I’m just saying that when we walk through life close to God, instead of running ahead of Him to make things happen and expecting Him to conform to what we think is best, things go better.

Timing is important. Don’t rush through life or quit walking. Try to keep pace with God. You will get where He wants, when He wants, and it will be awesome! - Pastor Mike

BTW, a man was speaking to God and asked him, "God, is it true that to you a thousand years is a minute?" "That's true," God replied. "And is it true that to you $1,000,000 is like a penny?" "That's true," God said. The man then asked, "Well, you see I'm a poor man, and I was wondering if you could give me a penny?” "Sure," said God, "in a minute."
