“There is an appointed time and season for everything that happens to you, a time and purpose for everything under heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1 (my paraphrase)
My grasp of the sovereignty of God increases each day of my life. I hope in your spiritual life that you are growing in your understanding that God is neither surprised nor panicked by your life’s happenings. He does not wring his hands when gasoline costs four dollars a gallon, nor when you experience the struggles of suffering. There is a time for everything in life. Ecclesiastes, written by the preacher, uses the word ‘time’ thirty-one times in the third chapter. He declares there is a time for everything and that everything has a purpose.
Let me encourage you to read that third chapter and contemplate your personal experience at this time. What is the time in life you are ‘in’ right now? What is happening in your life, your family, your church, your job that is appointed for your spiritual growth and well-being?
Remember today that God is in charge. He is the Sovereign Lord. Rejoice in His watch-care, protection and provision for your every need.
I hope you find purpose for your life today as you grow in Christ. May God bless you as your spiritual life prospers in Jesus.
