To everything
there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: (Ecclesiastes 3:1
NKJV)
Do not be
in too great a hurry. There is time for everything that has to be done. He who
gave you your life work has given you just enough time to do it in. The length
of life's candle is measured out according to the length of your required task.
You must take necessary time for meditation, for sleep, for food, for the
enjoyment of human love and friendship; and even then there will be time enough
left for your necessary duties. More haste, less speed! The feverish hand often
gives itself additional work. "He that believeth shall not make
haste."
Do not be
impatient. He who made you has prepared the successive steps along which you
must travel to realize your full human development. God knows what you need and
will bring you to its fulfillment, only you must wait for His timing with whom
a thousand years are as one day, and one day as a thousand years. He can mature
events with marvelous rapidity, and you will find that He will perfect that
which concerns you, so that no good thing will fail. He, who feeds the wild
things of the prairie and woodland, giving to each its appropriate portion,
will not fail any one of us. He will supply us with food convenient for us. The
Creator is faithful to the creature.
Do not be
cast down. Sorrow and trial are only for a time. They have their seasons, and
pass. It is not always winter, and God puts bright and beautiful things into
our lives which we need not be afraid of enjoying, it being understood that we
do not snatch at them, or use them for our personal pleasure alone. Everything
is beautiful after its sort and in its season, and every day has some element
of goodwill in it, but we sometimes so strain our eyes towards a distant spot
on the horizon that we miss the flowers on which we are walking.
God is in
all; find Him there! "Every good gift is from the Father of lights."
They were created that they might be received with thanksgiving, and the altar sanctifies
the gift. It is only when the gifts of God are severed from the Giver that they
do us harm (Ecclesiastes 3:13).
God has set
eternity in our heart, and man's infinite capacity cannot be filled or
satisfied with the things of time and sense (see Ecclesiastes 3:11).
PRAYER
Cause Your
grace to abound toward us, that we may have all sufficiency in all things, and
abound to every good work. Help us to fulfill all the duties and
responsibilities that this day may bring. In Jesus’ name I pray, AMEN.
