Reflections
“Time”
January 2012
Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up
your fallow ground; for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain
righteousness upon you. - Hosea 10:12
Well, another "New Year" has arrived. It's a time of new challenges, new
opportunities, new chances, new mercies, and new hope. The question is,"What
will we do with this precious gift called time?" How will we spend the
priceless moments of each passing day? You see, time is a rare commodity
given to us from the Father above and it doesn't stand still for anyone! As
a matter of fact, time is a limited resource. It's a daily treasure which
attracts many thieves and it's an earthly trust which, if invested wisely,
will produce eternal treasures.
The clock of life is wound up only once and none of us have the power to
predict when its' hands will stop. So, we need to utilize each day and
fulfill the tasks and deeds God has for us to accomplish. Why? Because, the
blessing of another day may not be in His plans for us.
My prayer for each of us
during this New Year, is that we not allow its' opportunities to slip
through our fingers. I pray that we take advantage of the new chances God
sends our way to encourage others ... that we claim His new daily mercies
extended to us, to do the right thing ... that we face the challenges sent
our way with complete trust in God seeing us through them... and finally,
that each of us will allow the flame of hope to burn brightly within our
hearts, as we face the unknown circumstances this year holds for us!
God bless you until
our next visit,
Sheila
