Where Has the Time Gone

 Psalm 90:12

" So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom."

It's time.  Time to get up.  Time to eat. Time to go to sleep.  What time is it? It is time to go to work.  It is time to make your doctor's appointment.  What time did you say it was?  It's almost time to take out the trash.  It's almost time for graduation.  Time to slow down.  How much time did you say I have?  Where has the time gone?

Time.  Marking of days on the calendar or counting the days of the week.  Time is a factor in so many decisions.  We talk about it and mark it as though we were in control.  Misconception. God controls time and He allows us to manage it.

Each day is a fresh beginning.  A new day brings the opportunity to start again.  This starting over is filled with new mercies and sufficient grace.  During the past few years, it has become more challenging "to keep up with the times."  Altered work and school schedules have many, myself included asking "is today Thursday or Friday?"  "Wow! It's Monday already.  Where has the time gone?"

The truth is time is constant.  It is best accounted for as we live in the present moment.  This doesn't negate planning for future events.  However, it does stress the importance of focusing on what is in front of us.  It chides us to treasure the day we are in.  Choose this day.  This is the day to rejoice.  This is the day to stir up a teachable heart, Give us this day.  Give us the wisdom, the guidance and strength we need O Lord.  Today.

Time that is past cannot be recovered.  Time ahead can be planned for but not predicted. The time we seek is right here.  It is right now.  

Time?  The time is now.

in Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

Help…My Help

  Psalms 46:1   “God  is our  refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Help.  God is my Help. Always present…in trouble and in triumph.  Help. God is my Help.  I lift up my eyes knowing my help comes from the Lord.  All my help.  Every need supplied. He is My Support. He is The Solution. My Benefactor. Ever providing. Always nourishing. Constantly replenishing. Help. God is My Help. God bless. In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

THE WHAT AND THE SOEVER

  Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things  are honest , whatsoever things  are  just, whatsoever things  are  pure, whatsoever things  are  lovely, whatsoever things  are  of good report; if  there be  any virtue, and if  there be  any praise, think on these things.” The truth is Jesus. Honestly. This is a fact. Scripture declares Him to be. The Way, the Truth, the Life. His ways are holy and just. His Word is pure. He is altogether lovely. Focusing on the whatsoever things is to abide in the peace of God. Thoughts centered on bountiful blessings. Determined to dwell on the goodness of God rather than the constant chaos perpetrated by the enemy of our souls. The What is also the Who.  He is the King of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. Matchless in power and might. He is the Faithful and True. He holds the balance in His Hands. God weighs the intent of the heart. True Hones...

The Journey Here

  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. - Psalms 23:4 The journey here...that is really something to think about.  Where we are in life as compared to where we had hoped to be.  Paths chosen while other were forgotten or neglected.  Decisions.  Times of indecisiveness. There were times we crawled. Too weary to walk.  We ran. We were too impatient to wait.   The journey.  Here.  That is really something to think about. For me the most difficult and sometimes debilitating aspect of the journey, has been walking through the valley of the shadow of death.  Tempted to fear due to memories of time I could have spent, conversations I should have had, hugs I wish I had given.  This type of fearful fretting is not of God.  I have learned; I am learning that if I truly believe, He is with me.  If I surely stand on His promi...
