Times
Today's devotional is from Life Is A Goldmine: Can You Dig It?
"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build" - Ecclesiastes 3:1-3.
There's a time for everything, but this famous list of 'times' leads one to ask: How do I know what time it is? The activities listed are diametrically opposed to one another, and that's what you face every day many times over.
Should I rest or work? Write a letter or watch a movie? Read or play with my children? Prepare for the future or write about the past? We'll look at the key to knowing what time it is in a future devotional, but for today, spend some time reflecting on the seasons of your life past that may hold clues to what time or season you're in today.
Lord, there are so many things I can be doing. How can I know what it is that I should be doing? Is it realistic to know? Do you set those times or do I help determine them by my choice and will? Show me what 'time' it is and then help me to eliminate the other options and focus on that 'time' until its time is up!
