There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
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,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak.
This is a passage that even if you don't own a Bible, than you have heard this before. Maybe been through a couple of songs. And so, what season are you in?
I have friends that are in mourning. Mourning of loving yet crushed relationships. It seems like all around me friends/family are having their second even one their fourth child. I am in my early 30's, so it makes me wonder when my time will come. Maybe I am under the time to refrain. With other issues I can see how others are in a time of being silent, yet others are in a time of speaking.
God talks about the seasons of our lives. The seasons can be 40 years to just a mere couple of days. When you are in a season, maybe in it for a while, you don't know if your in the middle of the right at the end. I think that is where I am at. I am in a season of quietness and I can't stand it. Do we ever like the season that we are in? Or am I just saying that b/c I am in one that I don't want to be in?
Lord,
Your Word says that only in losing our lives can we truly fine them. Make my arms strong for the tasks and my heart eager to obey. I trust you Lord. I am just sad that I feel at times I am just waiting to hear from You. i want to know that I know that I know You are with me. That you are taking care of me and this time is preparing the way that you have set out for me.
Amen
