Amenππ
There is an APPOINTED time, and an APPROPRIATE time for every activity on earth. Yet He has made everything BEAUTIFUL in HIS TIME.
Ecclesiastes 3 vv.1,11 (emphasis mine)

Today, may this be a great reminder that God is sovereign above all things. Our understanding may be limited yet His plan is wonderful and His wisdom is magnificent (Isaiah 28:29).
Trusting God often requires not knowing HOW God is going to accomplish what needs to be done and not knowing WHEN He will do it, yet, we choose to REMAIN in Him.
We learn to trust God through various experiences that requires trust. We see His compassion in our painful seasons. We see His power in our weakest moments. We see His faithfulness in situations we first see as impossibilities.
We see that He is continually working for our good and for His glory.
In Ecclesiastes 3, Solomon tells us that there is a season for everything. An appointed time- an appropriate time that He has planned long ago in His perfect faithfulness.
Whether we are in that season of lack or of abundance, in waiting or in reaping, in sorrow or in joy, in weeping or rejoicing, the journey is worthwhile because He is with us.
And so, even seasons take long to change or then come to its end, one thing transcends all these things- one that will stand firm through it all, from everlasting to everlasting-
His love.

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
Hebrews 11:1
