Galatians 4:4 But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law
Mark 1:15 To everything, there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the 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 get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, 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 of war, and a time of peace.
Ecclesiastes 3 says, "To everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven. A Time to be born, a time to die."
What does time mean to God? A couple of Biblical references give some idea of what time is like for God.
Psalm 90:4 says, "For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when it is past, or like a watch in the night." 2 Peter 3:8 says, "But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years are like one day."
I talk too many who tell me that they wish they had more time, they wish that they could put time aside to read their bible and spend time with God. It is a common problem, especially with those who are working. However, how much do we give to our lives to make sure that we have time to relax? Watch our soaps? People say that they have so little time to give. I always find that I make the excuse that I am too tired to read or pray, God never makes excuses to us, He always makes time for us. Quiet time with God is a necessity, you need to spend time in his words, study and learn from it every day, To become a good Christian you need the time alone with God, but also you need to be willing to give your time to those who are having difficult times, or sick. Always end your time in prayer to your Father.
Our Heavenly Father, I come to you today and ask that you direct our lives allowing us to have more time available for you. We always come to you in time of need, but please give us the desire to come to you daily and to give thanks. Thank you for this time to get into your word. I praise you Father and give you all the glory. Amen!
