What does the Bible say about God's timing?

Answered in 10 sources

The Bible teaches that God is in control of all timing, as seen in Ecclesiastes 3:15, which says God requires that which is past.

Ecclesiastes 3 emphasizes God's sovereignty over time, illustrating that everything has its appointed time according to His divine will. For instance, it declares that there is a time to be born and a time to die, which is not coincidental but part of God's overarching plan. Throughout scripture, we see examples of individuals like Jeremiah, who was known and appointed by God even before his birth. This reassures believers that while human experiences are filled with change, God's purposes remain constant and His timing is perfect. As we reflect on our lives, we can rest in the assurance that God's plans unfold at the right time, according to His wisdom and authority.
