Times and Seasons pt. 1

Scripture: 

Ecclesiastes 3:1-15
Psalm 119:90,91

Devotional: 

“To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven.” If we are able to comprehend and understand this statement, we will be able to see God in every facet of our lives. Solomon was deemed one of wisest men to every live and the book of Ecclesiates was accredited to his authorship. The purpose of this book is to show that, apart from the fear of God, life has no meaning and leads to despair. 

In the 3rd chapter of this book Solomon’s intent was to focus on the purpose of God’s timing. Us, in with our finite mind cannot begin to comprehend the many different ways choses to move. So, instead he chose to point out that everything has a season and has a purpose. The importance of this is, if we do not properly understand which season God has us in, we will waste that season. God has so declared that this is our season of winning, even when things around us don’t seem to look like that declaration, nothing can change that decree. For as we see in verse 14 & 15, when God declares a season, it lasts until that word comes into fruition. Nothing can be added to it, nothing can be taken from it. It shall be exactly what God intended it to be, all He requires is that we trust, that He will do exactly has He said. 

Prayer:

God I see what You are doing with us in this season, help me to align myself with your word so I do not miss it. Teach me to trust You, trust Your process, trust that You have all things under control. Shift our mindset to be able to see that this is our winning season and You have so predestined this timing to happen. All things work for the good of those that love You, so we rest in Your process with a hope that all things will work for our good. Amen.
