Ecclesiastes Chapter 3
God the author and finisher of all things set seasons in motion governed by time for us to move, act and do His Will. We exist in time but are created for eternity. Therefore, the things we do in time affect eternity. Time is set according to God’s Divine providence and is to be used for it.
This means God grants us time, space, and opportunity to do certain things. Too many times we make time, give space and grant opportunities for things God didn’t. As a result, we find ourselves struggling, depressed, sick, and feeling hopeless. God sweetens life’s bitterness when we are faithful—meaning when we are in God’s time, space and opportunity, He gives us a special grace and favor to suffer, endure and triumph. We will succeed no matter what it looks like. We have to because He has set a specific time aside for our healing, restoration, and success.
There are 29 different “times” in Ecclesiastes 3. Always seek God about what time you are in so you will know the next steps to take. Stay within His time and He will make your time successful. Let no-one and no-thing take this time away.
Prayer
Lord, Thank you for this time, space and opportunity to heal.
Help me to use it wisely so I can advance your kingdom.
