WHAT TIME IS IT?
"There is a time for everything, 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 harvest.
A time to kill and a time to heal.
A time to tear down and a time to rebuild.
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 lose.
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 up.
A time to love and a time to hate.
A time for war and a time for peace." (Eccl. 3:1-8)
With the Powells being called to west central Ohio, what is the "time" for cciph? What "time" is it for me? These are the questions we bring before the Lord in prayer in the coming weeks. What kind of season will this next one be?
I am tempted to start through the list and highlight some of those words, but feel checked in my spirit to do so until I have spent time spreading this passage out before the Lord in concentrated prayer. I want Him to be the one to impress on me what season it is for my life, not my own emotions or plans or logic.
"LORD, where from here? What time is it? Teach me to number my days, that I may apply myself to a heart of wisdom. Do so with Fatherly grace, through the sacrifice of the Son and in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen."
