SCRIPTURE:
(Please share the verse(s) which speak to you)
God has made everything appropriate in its time, He has also put eternity in their hearts, but man cannot discover the work God has done from beginning to end, I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and enjoy the good life (Ecclesiastes 3:11-12 HCSB).
OBSERVATION:
These verses follow the great Ecclesiastes passage often called a “time for everything”. One of the most metaphysical gifts we have been given is the gift of time. We can not control it or truly determine what happens within time. We can only live in time. So in all things we are to rejoice and enjoy a life with God.
APPLICATION:
I, like many, think we can manage our time. Look at our calendars, watches and day planners. But things interrupt what we might have planned. We might wake with a full calendar of events and the child is sick and the day is over the plans are out the window. It would be tempting to see the day as a waste of time but in reality it is time to spend with one I love.
PRAYER:
Lord, I give you thanks for time and how you break into my life at all times. In times of good or bad let me always rejoice and enjoy life with you.
YES:
I will say yes to looking for God’s presence in all the “times” in my life.
