A Time for Everything

Scripture:

Ecclesiastes 3:1  "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens".

Observation:

Solomon, the wisest person ever, writes in Ecclesiastes and calls everything meaningless.  After he had reigned in extreme wisdom and achieved incredible results, he felt everything was meaningless because someone would just come after him and mess things up.  As he enters into chapter 3 he lets us know that there are seasons in life and history.  There is a time for everything.

Application:

Timing is so crucial in our lives.  We must do the right thing at the right time because there is a time for everything.  We must discern the times and make the most of every opportunity that comes our way.  There are times of blessing.  There are times of sowing.  There are times of sorrow.  There are times of joy.  Times will come and go throughout our lives, what we need to focus on is honoring God throughout the times of our lives.

Prayer:

Father, let my life bring You glory throughout the times and seasons of my life.  Help me to reflect Your glory well and to be a light to those around me.  Help me not to get discouraged because something doesn't happen in my timing.  Your timing is perfect and I want to serve you well in my generation.

Your Son,
Jeff
