Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 “For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven: 2 a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 3 a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.”
I’m beginning to understand this passage. It’s so beautiful to know I don’t have to do everything at once!
Philippians 4:13 “I am able to do all things through him who gives me strength.”
Jesus is talking to his followers:
Matthew 6:25-27 “Therefore, I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they? 27 Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan?”
This is one of the verses used in today’s worship services at Grace Point. It is so comforting to me that God has everything under control. I am more valuable than anything I can ever purchase, and worrying about whether I have anything adds nothing to my life. My job is to enjoy God and His creation. He will take care of the rest.
