A Time for Everything

By Adeshola Abraham 

Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

Change can happen overnight. It may be at work, or the loss of a family member, or other life situation. Change is the only constant in life. And it has the potential to flatten you like a steamroller or move you on to better things. The choice is yours. 'To everything there is a season' (Ecclesiastes 3:1 NKJV). 

The truth is, God is your only secure anchor in life, so if you're wise you will build a strong relationship with him. Ultimately, he will never allow you to depend on anything but him. Here is Elijah's story: 'The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning,...and he drank from the brook. And it happened after a while that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land' (1 Kings 17:6-7 NKJV). Elijah may have panicked, but God didn't. 'The word of the Lord came to him, saying, "Arise, go to Zarephath...and dwell there. See, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you"' (1 Kings 17:8-9 NKJV). Notice what God used to provide for Elijah: ravens, a brook and a penniless widow.

So, whatever your work may be, excel in it, but depend only on God! May the excellent spirit of God rest upon you and cause you to proper in all your ways in Jesus name. Amen.

Good Morning and a wonderful midweek.
