A Time For Everything!

​

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-27 is one of my favorite Bible passages, but here we'll only highlight verses 1-8. The passage is prolifically designed to provoke readers to examine time as it relates to lifestyles, decisions, actions, behavior, and spiritual growth. Essentially, Ecclesiastes places a period where humans would rather leave question marks. The Book encapsulates "the true meaning of life" by illuminating what it is not. What it is not is articulated by describing end-games, consequences, and or summations. Yes, Ecclesiastes sums up life through the eyes of Jesus, by showing us ahead of time what to expect when the time comes to look back over our lives.

Consequently, men and women live as though they have forever to do whatever it is they love doing on earth. The Bible, on the other hand, specifically in Ecclesiastes 3:1 emphasizes that there is "A Time for Everything
and a season for every activity under the heavens." For that reason, we should expect that God expects to see growth, spiritually, as well as emotionally. Spiritual growth and emotional growth combined produce evidence of maturity. If you're on the right path, things you did at age 20, no longer seem appropriate at age 40? That said, when are we going to realize that time is running out? Really, if nothing changes, nothing changes!
If the Lord was to come back right this moment what would be the most recent entry in your time capsule?

A Time for Everything

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 2: 1-8

 

[MotherSilence]

God has given us time to be used for His glory and to honor Him in whatever position we are in. Do not waste your time watching sin and evil on netflix or anywhere else. Use your time as Jesus used His.

 

[Yonkers]

All my time is being used for the glory of God the Father. He has given us life to live for His glory and honor. Everything we have belongs to Him. Breath on me breath of God.... fill me with life anew. That I may love the way You love and do what you would do.
