God's Timing

Hey Guys! This conversation I once had crossed my mind a couple weeks ago, and I thought I would share it with you. I hope this is helpful to you in some way or another! :)

One day I was having a conversation with a couple of my friends (maybe more of a debate), and the topic was about sex. (Yes, sorry for the uncomfortable topic..) Now don't worry, this isn't a conversation about anything weird, or even specific. Just the topic in general. So the conversation took a turn to whether or not we were waiting for marriage, and when I said that I was going to, one of my friends asked why. So I talked about how it's what God told us to do, and about my personal reasons for doing it, and when I was done my friend started doing what anyone does when you talk about God or the Bible - start bringing up "the facts." They started telling me that the reason God told us to wait was because back then girls got married so much younger than they do these days so it was ok, but if a woman waits too long now it could lead to health problems and whatnot. 

The thought I had as my friend was saying all this was "do you really think God didn't know what marriage would be like today?" God knows everything, He can see fifty years into our futures as if it is already happening to us today! He already knew that things would be done differently today than they were done when He wrote the Bible. God's Word is infinite; just because the times change doesn't mean we don't have to listen to the Bible anymore. God wrote it for a reason, and that was so we would always have a way to learn about Him and follow His plans for us. 

God's Word doesn't have an expiration date. So if anyone tries to tell you about how things are "different now," don't let them shake you. God already knew they would be, just trust Him and keep following His plan.
