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

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
