God’s Clock is a Mystery Clock
A Mystery Clock |
This past week we sold a number of beautiful and unusual clocks for a family that obviously loved these old time pieces as well. Their grandfather clock would have hit most ceilings at 9’7″ tall. There were numerous wall clocks, banjo clocks, and a really neat Dickory Dickory Dock clock where the little mouse from the nursery rhyme moved upwards as the time passed. But the clocks that interested me the most were the “Mystery Clocks.” They were different from most and get their name because it is a mystery how they kept time.

God is different than we are. He does not live within the confines of time. To Him one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. As we scurry around, trying to complete all that needs to be done, we can often become frustrated when God seems to delay. His way of doing things can often be a mystery. Many times He doesn’t answer our prayers according to our time table.

God does not need a clock to regulate His activity. But if there is a timepiece in heaven, I think it is a mystery clock. Why? Because He works and acts beyond the confines of time as we know it. What are a thousand years to us may only be one day to Him. But like the mystery clock, though we may not understand the inner workings, we can trust Him to accomplish His will at the perfect time. He will never be late or early – He is always right on time.
Oh dear, Great Grandma’s clock is now chiming the hour. Another day is almost done!
