There is a time for everything!

Time is not something we can buy! If we don't make the time, we can miss a lot of important things in life. Making the most of our time is a choice. Yes, it is a choice we can make.

I find it very hard to prioritize and invest our time in meaningful things in today's world. We tend to get caught up in the busyness of life, and then one day we wake up asking ourselves that same question over and over again - Where did the time go?

In the book of Ecclesiastes chapter three, it says that there is a time for everything.

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8

3 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:

2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, 6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, 8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.

As we are almost at the end of January,

a time when the holidays and all the excitement around Christmas time seem very far away.

A time when some of us have almost given up on our new year's resolutions.

A time where 'life' has resumed as before,

I encourage you to pause for a moment and to reflect on where you are right now. Spend some time to think about where you have been investing your time so far and as the Holy Spirit reveals Himself to you, make room for more of God in your life. Choose to make the time!

As you reflect and pause, I pray this song will help you to make room for more of God in your life.

God is longing for us to spend quality and quantity time with Him, giving Him our all, our everything, in total surrender. He knows what we are made up of, and He only wants to enjoy time with us. Friends, God longs for a deep relationship with us his children, let us not waste our time in earthly things, but let us come back to our Father and let Him guide us through our lives. Yes, we might seem that we do not have enough time to do everything we need to do and He is very much aware of all the responsibilities that we have and He will provide to our needs. He will take care of every detail that concerns us.

Right from the very beginning in the Bible, we see that family has been established by God. As you allow God to reveal Himself to you in how to handle your time, remember to make more room in your life for your family and friends.
