Taking time

Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, " To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:" Makes you wonder. Sometimes I don't feel like I have time. Maybe it feels like time has me? There is this thing that keeps moving in front of me... like the rabbit that racing dogs chase. They can never catch it and all they are doing is running around in circles. grrr!

I guess the clincher is there is time... a time for every purpose under heaven. I find when I take the time early in the day to ask God what He has in mind for me that day, things change. My agenda gets tweeked. Appointments get canceled, lots of very unplanned things happen. Even so, my days are way less chaotic or full.

Timing

Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, "To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven." We fret about so many things. Like our worry can help us think of the right thing at the right moment so that we can prevent something from happening or make something happen. I have had trouble lately figuring out what to pray when things are in crisis. Sometimes I SO want God to intervene. But what I am always asking for is a path out of the pain. Sometimes pain is in season if that makes any sense.
