HE KNOWS WHEN IT'S TIME by Robert Soto

Job 28:23-24 "God understands the way to it and he alone knows where it dwells, for he views the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens."

As we continue our journey to the northeast, I am discovering that the creation totally understands its needs to survive and sustain life. It knows when it is time to bloom and when it is time to flourish. It knows the seasons and when the time is right to come out with all its splendor. Of course in the southwest , like our territory, where it rarely gets cold, the leaves woke up a long time ago and the blossoms bloomed a long time ago. But that is the way God the Creator works in the everyday affairs of the creation which He himself created. He knows and understands the seasons and the times that it all comes together.

But that is the kind of God Creator we have learned to love and adore. He keeps an eye on everything He created; He knows our needs and what both we and the creation need. Solomon said, "God understands the way to it and he alone knows where it dwells, for he views the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens." He knows what we need to survive and when to bring it along. As Solomon said, "He alone knows where it dwells..." He understands our needs and He knows when we need it. So the creation only reminds us that He is in total control of our world around us. Just as the creation patiently waits to wake up to produce, so we should patiently wait for His care for us.
