The question of God's relation to time has generated a great amount of theological and philosophical reflection. The traditional view has been that God is timeless in the sense of being outside time altogether; that is, he exists but does not exist at any point in time and he does not experience temporal succession.
In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul encourages us to make “the best use” of time. This is so crucial because the days themselves are evil. What does this mean? It could mean that the world we live in is prone to evil.
In Christian theology
In the New Testament, kairos means "the appointed time in the purpose of God," the time when God acts (e.g. Mark 1:15: the kairos is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand).
Trusting God often requires not knowing how God is going to accomplish what needs to be done and not knowing when He will do it. We often say God is never late, but generally He isn't early either. Why? Because He uses times of waiting to stretch our faith in Him and to bring about change and growth in our lives.
We must always remember that God never takes His eyes off us – we must have this security within us. The truth is whether we are aware of it or not, we journey in life with God watching over us. He will keep His promises to see us through – in life, in death, and in heaven, God will watch over us too.

Fifteen hundred years after Noah's great flood, King Solomon was receiving some advice from his father, King David, who said this, ” … for the Lord searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts” 1 Chronicles 28:9. In other words, “Be aware of what's in your head, son. God sees it.”
God tests, but he will never tempt us to sin. Yes, the devil tempts just as he tempted Jesus in the desert to act independently from his Father (Luke 4:1-13). “God delays because we ask him for the wrong reasons,” says Mackenzie, 11. Our own lusts or selfish desires drive us into temptation.
The main verse of scripture that is powerfully encouraging is in Psalm 31:15 (NKJV) “My times are in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from those who persecute me.” The “times” being spoken of refer to the various events that come into our lives, whether we see them as good or bad.
When GOD SHOWS UP, He comes with His Omnipotence, Sovereignty and Benevolence to deal decisively and ruthlessly with the affliction of the afflicted, the poverty of the poor and the sickness of the sick.
Discussion. In scripture, Prophetic Years of 360 days instead of normal years of 365 days has been interpreted as being equal to prophetic months of 30 days or years.
God's Minute is a collection of daily written prayers for Christian worship, primarily at home but also anywhere your daily travels take you. The intent is to enable the reader to establish a practice of taking a short moment to reflect.
Using these methods, most scholars assume a date of birth between 6 and 4 BC, and that Jesus' preaching began around AD 27–29 and lasted one to three years. They calculate the death of Jesus as having taken place between AD 30 and 36.
A new day arrives
Either way, Jesus tells us to live one day at a time. He tells us not to worry about tomorrow in Matthew 6:34. He tells us to ask God for our daily provision in Matthew 6:11. And we know that God's mercies are new each morning from Lamentations 3:22–23.
John 11:25-26. "Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.'
The Jewish day ran from sundown to sundown and was divided into eight "watches", four of daylight and four of darkness. By New Testament times, they had begun to observe the Roman custom of twelve hours of day and twelve hours of night, but they did not count minutes or seconds.
You can trust his timing because if he gave you a promise, he intends to follow through no matter how long it takes. He didn't make a mistake when he made you a promise. It was deliberate and intentional. He knows what he's doing when he allows you to wait.
In you, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in your righteousness. Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me. Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven..."
God Promises that He will see to it that you fulfil the number of your days (120 years) Exodus 23:26 “There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: THE NUMBER OF THY DAYS I WILL FULFILL.” Genesis 6:3 “And the LORD said, “My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet HIS ...
To increase your desire. Like the persistent widow whose prayer grew stronger and stronger until the desired outcome was achieved, God may delay in answering your prayer so that you more eagerly and intensely seek him for the answer (Luke 18:1-8).
You may have felt like your sins are too serious or that you have made the same mistake too many times. But no matter how much we have sinned, we can always repent and be forgiven. Some sins may be easier to correct than others, but Jesus Christ has provided for total forgiveness from all sins. He is eager to forgive.
God watches all of us constantly. He sees everything. We cannot hide from Him or keep any secret from Him. He even reads our minds.
