Now is the time

Where has time gone, the New Year is upon us 2015 is here. Time seems to be a friend to no one nowadays, our schedules seems to get more hectic; life seems to be going by so quickly that we miss what God is doing around us, in us and through us.

As 2014 comes to an end reflect back over the days and see where the hands of God have been in your life, your family’s life, in our church and in our community. Has God given you peace, strength, hope, wisdom, grace, mercy this past year?

Yes of course He has, and He will in the New Year, and the Years to come.

The Bible tells us in Ecclesiastics 3 To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted; …a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up; A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance;… A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;…A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away; A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak; A time to love, And a time to hate; A time of war, And a time of peace. ..He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end. I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice and to do good in their lives, and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor--it is the gift of God. I know that whatever God does, It shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, And nothing taken from it. God does it, that men should fear before Him.

Let us commit our ways to God this year, rejoice in who He is, let Him work in our lives and in the lives of those around us, and in all we do, do as unto the Lord.

There is a time for everything the scriptures tell us, it is God’s timing not ours, let us trust Him to see us through whatever comes our way.

2 Corinthians 5:17 HCSB

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;  old things have passed away, and look,  new things  have come.
