A time for everything under the sun...

"For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.
A time to be born and a time to die
A time to plant and a time to harvest
A time to kill and a time to heal
A time to tear down and a time to build up
A time to cry and a time to laugh
A time to grieve and a time to dance
A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones
A time to embrace and a time to turn away
A time to search and a time to quit searching
A time to keep and a time to throw away
A time to tear and a time to mend
A time to be quiet and a time to speak

A time to love and a time to hate

A time for war and a time for peace

The last few days I have been absolutely amazed at the detailed perfection of God and his timing. He never misses a moment and he is so patient in dealing with me, his daughter. He gently guides me and prepares my heart for things that will come my way. He orchestrates the details of my life so that when I cooperate and even when I don’t he will cover my mistakes and help me to learn… he is full of grace and his mercies truly are new every morning.

I love this scripture in Ecclesiastes because it reminds me that though feelings come and go as quickly as the wind, God is constant. He never changes and though I will live in moments of sadness and joy and life and death… His goodness never changes. What a beautiful God … I am truly grateful that I serve a living God that will not fail me.

We had a very good service tonight. Lisa was finishing up a series on Relationships and we were talking about the timing of God and that it is good to wait and in making decisions we need to be prayerfully considering them and seek counsel and research it out… whether that is a relationship or a job or school or whatever… I was very challenged and encouraged…

I so wonder what the future will bring but as daddy often reminds me, Tomorrow will worry about itself baby… Ok Dad. Tonight I will listen and take it to heart. :)
