A Time for Everything.
There is a time for everything,
And a season for every activity under the heavens:
A time to be born and a time to die,
A time to plant and a time to uproot,
A time to kill and a time to heal,
A time to tear down and a time to build,
A time to weep and a time to laugh,
A time to mourn and a time to dance,
A time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
A time to search and a time to give up,
A time to keep and a time to throw away,
A time to tear and a time to mend,
A time to be silent and a time to speak,
A time to love and a time to hate,
A time for war and a time for peace.
What do workers gain from their toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him. Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account. And I saw something else under the sun: In the place of judgment—wickedness was there, in the place of justice—wickedness was there. I said to myself, “God will bring into judgment both the righteous and the wicked for there will be a time for every activity, a time to judge every deed.” I also said to myself, “As for humans, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals. Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless. All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. Who knows if the human spirit rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?” So I saw that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot. For who can bring them to see what will happen after them?
If any little word of ours, Can make one life the brighter; If any little song of ours, Can make one heart a little lighter; God help us speak that little word; And drop it in some lonely vale, To set the echoes ringing. If any little love of ours, Can make one life the sweeter; If any little care of ours, Make one step the fleeter; If any little help may ease, The burden of another; God give us love and care and strength, To help along each other. “Author Unknown”
A little work to occupy my mind, A little suffering to sanctify My Spirit, and dear Lord Jesus, if thou can’t find some little good that I may do for thee, I shall be glad, for that will comfort me. Mind, spirit and hand, I lift them all to thee. “Anonymous”
O’ Savior Christ, who dost lead them to immortal blessedness, who commit themselves to thee: Grant that we, being weak, presume not to trust in ourselves, but may we always have thee before our eyes, to follow thee, our guide, that thou, who only know’s the way, may You lead us to our Heavenly desires. To thee with The Father and the Holy Spirit be glory forever. “Anonymous”
Almighty and most merciful Father, whose dearly beloved Son Jesus Christ died that we might live: Grant to us thy children grace to follow in His most holy steps. Fill us with the Spirit of reverence and Godly fear; make us swift to obey thy Holy will; and so turn our weakness into strength by the presence of thy Holy Spirit, that we may fight faithfully against selfishness, impurity and pride, and ever be true to thy calling in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. I love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory for this new day. I just thank You today for letting me be persistent in my prayers and You never give up on me. You don’t think I irritate You and You always listen to me. I love you so for this. I just so want to share this about the persistent widow. Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’ “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’” And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?” Luke 18:1-9 I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Your Precious Name. Amen. Hallelujah!
“May your kingdom come; may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us our daily bread today. And forgive us our offenses, as we forgive those who offend us. And don’t allow us to fall into temptation, but save us from evil. Matthew 6:9-13”
Protect us, for You are our God and Father. Protect all who are in danger or who must go into danger. Make known Your great love and Your living presence to the hearts of the dying. Draw our hearts together so that we may have community in You, our faith and hope set on You alone. How often do you pray it? … In Matthew 6:7 right before giving saying the Lord’s prayer, Jesus said “do not say the same things over and over again”. So when you pray, you need to 1) pray to God that his name be sanctified (or glorified) This means that your life would bring glory and honor to the name of Jehovah.
Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. I love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory for this new day to thank You that you provide all our needs. “Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for. your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; … what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet. for your body, what you will wear. Matthew 6:25” I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Your Precious Name. Amen. Hallelujah!
