"Timing is everything." You have probably heard this phrase before, haven’t you? It’s one of those truths that is ingrained in us. It’s one of those facts of life that we just know deep down to be true.
An action can be considered unquestionably right or incredibly wrong solely based upon timing. For example, let’s say you have a friend who has had a crummy day, so you send him a text to cheer him up—that’s a great thing, isn’t it? But if you do it while driving, not so great because “timing is everything.”
Let’s say you want to give a family member a call on her birthday to wish her an enjoyable day. That’s a wonderful thing to do, as long as you don’t do it in the middle of a movie at the Carmike. Why? Because “timing is everything.”
It’s necessary in your job. For example, getting to work five minutes early is a whole lot better than 10 minutes late. Also, being finished with a task before the deadline is better than three days after.
Timing is also essential when it comes to relationships—especially when it comes to the physical relationship between a man and a woman. I think everyone would agree that timing is key in this area.
Though God tells us in His word that sexual intercourse is a beautiful and deeply spiritual act, He says that it is wrong if done at the wrong time and in the wrong context. In the first part of 1 Corinthians 7, Paul makes this exact point. He explains that the only time it’s ok to live together, have sex with your partner and have children together is after you have said, “I DO.” Want to hear more?
