Timing: The Key To Your Success
If a quarterback's timing is off. . .he's going to have a bad day with more interceptions than touchdowns. That's clearly evident in some of the National Football League games you may watch each week.
If a basketball player whether high school, college or professional has his timing off. . .he won't be able to make a free throw. . .no matter how big the rim is.
In life. . .if your timing is off. . .you can miss possibilities. . .and opportunities for success.
Timing is critically important in life.
Something can be a good idea. . .it can be a great idea. . .it can be a God idea but for it to be successful it must be in God's timing.
Here are seven keys to right timing for success.
1. The Holy Spirit gives you the timing.
Have you ever wondered if it was the right time to make a career change. . .to ask someone to marry you. . .to present your ideas to your supervisors?
Knowing when to speak. . .is equally important to what you’re going to say.
Acts 1:7-8 in the Message Bible says:
“He told them, `You don’t get to know the time. Timing is the Father’s business. What you’ll get is the Holy Spirit. And when the Holy Spirit comes on you, you will be able to be my witnesses in Jerusalem, all over Judea and Samaria, even to the ends of the world.’”
