daily prayer

  Good morning! How are we faithing? I have run into alot of things this year and much as of late. It is so interesting that when one is removed from a situation it becomes clearer as to what is happening. While in the midst of struggles and jubilation we can lose sight of the bigger picture that Jesus is messiah and he loves us enough to have endured all we have and will endure so we can come out the other side of all this. Not to to wax to philosophical but when we are able to pause and reflect we need to realize nothing is new under the sun, it's just new to us. With this knowledge we can approach the things we face, good or bad, with a new found peace from the master and an assurance inside that we are not alone and withdrawing inward only hurts and not helps ourselves and others. Think about that...

 Ecclesiastes 3:1-15
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 kill,And 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 cast away stones,And a time to gather stones;
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.
What profit has the worker from that in which he labors? I have seen the God-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied. 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.
That which is has already been,
And what is to be has already been;
And God requires an account of what is past.
NKJV
