Trust God in EVERY circumstance. God Created time; He owns time. Jonah’s disobedience led him directly to where God sent him!
The Bible teaches that God owns, controls, and sets the timing for all events, ensuring everything happens at the perfect moment. Key verses include Ecclesiastes 3:1 (“For everything there is a season”) and Isaiah 60:22 (“When the time is right, I, the Lord, will make it happen”).
