Where's that wristwatch again?

So this morning I got another dose of the Majesty of God's eternity when compared to my own silly, human perceptions and expectations of time :P

I woke up at 6:30 this morning because I needed to be at work on time, in fact BEFORE time. I had prayed the night before to help this happen because due to traffic and other instances - and not in the least because I live 55 kilometers from my office - I'd been late 3 days in a row.

So much for that. Busy shower, no taxi for 20 minutes, and other things only enabled me to leave home by 7:45. What time do I need to be at work? 8:30. 55 kilometers from Qusais to Media City? In rush hour? In 45 minutes? Not happening. I got into the taxi with a prayer: You WILL make this happen, because you are the God of time.

Did the heavens open up? Did the roads clear? No. :) The signal near my home got an epileptic attack this morning, and would be green for 8 seconds. Then the Airport Tunnel was congested. Then Garhoud was at a standstill. Then Shk Zayed Road was tied up. Then some irritated driver in front of my taxi started acting funny and slowing down in front of us to get us into an accident.

It was 8:25 and I was still a good 10 minutes away. What was playing in my headset? Jesus Culture's 'Your love never changes'.

I made it at 8:32 and discovered my boss arrived AFTER I did.

Your love never changes, Master of time :)
