God: The Timer
“He makes everything beautiful in it's time.” - Ecclesiastes 3:11
The enzyme orotidine 5’-phosphate decarboxylase (Quite a name!) makes a reaction occur in 18 milliseconds that would otherwise take 78 million years! That’s a speed-up of one million-trillion times! This enzyme is critical to build DNA base pairs. Without orotidine’ 5, there would be no life on earth.
Can you imagine trying to build this incredibly precise enzyme out of an infinite number of molecular configurations? God imagined AND created orotidine’ 5, plus the codes to build 5000 other precise enzymes. He perfectly inscribed each set of instructions on the human DNA strand. Each enzyme has to be tailored to work with specific molecules, and increase the speed of exactly right. Enzymes must increase reactions to precisely the right speed–not too fast or too slow. The timing is critical for sustaining life.
Chronobiologists are scientists who research the timing of molecular processes. For instance, our body builds certain molecules at specific times of the day. And, our DNA produces enzymes at certain times of the day to interact with these molecules.
Recently scientists learned that when we get jet lag, it’s because enzymes and reactants aren’t being produced in the right time frames to coincide with one another. In essence, our bodies poison themselves when we fly long distances through multiple time-zones. It takes our bodies a few days to catch up to the changes and get the timing of DNA-produced molecules back in synchrony.
“David inquired of the LORD, who answered, ‘Do not march straight up, but circle around behind them and attack them in front of the balsam trees. As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move quickly, because this will mean that the LORD has marched out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.’ “
Who could have imagined?
Just as God times the hidden workings of your enzymes and the perfect growth of a baby, He will time the events in your life as you seek Him! He knows all far-reaching consequences.
Be one who deeply trusts and seeks God much for His purposes and timetables. He will astonish you. You will see that He truly does all things excellently.
Let the Creator roll out His plans for the beauty and purposes of your life, and for many others’ lives who you will affect!
“I will wait for the God of my salvation.” - Micah 7:7
I gladly wait for His excellent plans, timings and powerful workings.
