What’s Your Time For?

What’s Your Time For?

‘There is time for everything.’ Eccl. 3:1 [KJV]

Bible Reading: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

God is the Alpha and Omega- the Almighty who transcends time because He is not bound by time, yet He understands the importance of time and timing. More than anyone, God understands timing and He does not joke with it. He said to Abraham, “I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and behold, Sarah your wife shall have a son” (Genesis 18:10). That was exactly what happened. How can the author of time not know its value?

Anyone that diligently seek God will have a spiritual understanding of time that will reflect on the physical. This is because timing is crucial to God’s agenda. The Bible always speaks of the right time (Psalm 31:15; Romans 5:6; 1 Peter 5:6). In God’s plan, there is time for everything (Eccl. 3). For instance, God was not resting when He was meant to be creating the world, neither did He commence His ministry when He was still in training. May God help you to get it right when it comes to timing like the sons of Issachar who understood the times (1 Chronicles 12:32).

Dear friends, the question worth asking is: what have you done with your time and what are you doing with it? For instance, David said, ‘O God, thou art my God; early will I seek you’ (Psalm 63:1a). He knew that earnestly and early seeking God is important to getting the best out of the day and being led by the Lord. Gain control of your time and you will gain control of your life. I strongly believe God is working right now, there is a need to partner with Him and be in tune with His timing. Finally, king David’s prayer, ‘teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom”, shows that we can display uncommon wisdom if we have an understanding of time (Psalm 90:12). May God give you understanding in Jesus name.

Daily Confession: I choose to use my time wisely in Jesus’ name.

Intercessory prayer: Pray for families and couples that are in misunderstanding or at the verge of break up that God will intervene; speak peace to every heart and have His way in such homes in Jesus’ name.

Hymn:  Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to thee.
Take my moments and my days;
Let them flow in endless praise,
