Your "Times" Are in His Hand
Commentators explain that the phrase "my times" refers to more than just the length of your life. It encompasses all of life's seasons, changes, and circumstances—both good and bad. Scholars like Calvin and Gill note that the plural "times" signifies the many dangers and varied events we face. To say your times are in God's hand is to declare a comprehensive trust in His sovereign control over every detail of your existence.
