To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: – Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NKJV)
He has made everything beautiful in its time. – Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NKJV)
The race is not to the swift,
Nor the battle to the strong,
Nor bread to the wise,
Nor riches to men of understanding,
Nor favor to men of skill;
But time and chance happen to them all. – Ecclesiastes 9:11 (NKJV)
- Everything has a season.
- Every purpose has a time; and every time has its purpose.
- God makes everything (every purpose) beautiful in its time.
- There is no negative (bad) or positive (good) time. All times are set or ordained by God.
- Ask God to reveal to you the beauty of your current time, whether you perceive that time as bad or good.
- Don’t let your talent, strength, wisdom, intellect, or skills or lack thereof determine what you do with the time given. These are not the deciding factor in your results; time and chance are.
- Could it be that the time for x has expired and we are still doing x’s work in y’s time?
- Could it be that you are out of your current time?
- Embrace the beauty of the present! Embrace the beauty of your current time!
- Don’t waste your time and chance given today!
Thank you Lord for the time that You have given me today. Please help me Lord not to be constantly looking back desiring to return to things of the past. Help me to remember that everything has a season and every purpose has a time. Help me Lord to endeavor to focus on the current purpose and the current season so that I won’t waste my current time. In Jesus’ name, AMEN!
