Time For...?
Do you sometimes feel pressured to perform, succeed or conform? Is the future weighing so heavy on you that you forget to enjoy today?
Scripture assures us that “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” Ecclesiastes 3:1. We have great examples in the Bible of people waiting on the Lord’s timing. Noah was around 525 years old when he started building the ark. Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist. was “advanced in years” and beyond childbearing years when she became pregnant. Jesus spent 40 days in the desert fasting and praying before He began His public ministry engaging with people.
“Stress makes you believe that everything has to happen right now. Faith reassures you that everything will happen in God’s timing.” unknown
Time is a gift from God. Back to Ecclesiastes, we are encouraged: “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God." Ecclesiastes 3:11-13

Am I open to God’s timing, or am I trying to make things fit my timing? Am I enjoying the gifts, opportunities, mission and blessings that God is giving me, right now, each day? How do I express that to God and to those around me?
