Just Right And On Time

















S.E.E.D. For Today_Timing

 Scripture "God has given them a desire to know the future. He does everything just right and on time, but people can never completely understand what he is doing." Ecclesiastes 3:11

If we accept life as it is, even the hard parts will become bearable. Often times we feel like aliens in the world of time. We also desire to understand our place in the world against the backdrop of eternity. But we cannot find out what God does from beginning to end, we are not able to discern any plan or pattern of all this. God's purposes are usually outside of our realm of control or investigation. God accomplishes His purposes in His time, but it will not be until we enter eternity that we will begin to comprehend His total plan. Our earthly pursuits while lawful in their season become unprofitable if God never intended them to be. Sometime we try to force timing through our own efforts to be happy but out of God's order become a disappointment.  The Psalms writer says in 1:3 that we are like trees planted by streams of water, that yield fruit in the right timing. "God has planned a time for everything and every action,"v17. Jesus life showed a wonderful balance of the sense of timing. On one occasion in John 7:6  His brothers urged Him to go to Judea. Jesus replied; the right time has not come for Me yet. Timing is everything.

Example The time when something happens or is done especially when it is thought of as having a good or bad effect on the result.

Exercise Read Ecclesiastes Chapter 3; It is said that the purpose of this poem was to set the stage for this discussion, that God does everything when the time is right. He also put eternity into man's mind, He has given us the desire to know the future. We must acknowledge that the place, purpose and timing of every person, thing or event is God's overall plan. We can investigate to try to make sense of His plan but we will never know unless God chooses to reveal it to us. Timing is everything, you have to wait for the instructions. The instructions come in daily prayer,  Jesus prayed to the Father for instructions. Even now He is waiting for the Father to tell Him it's time to return. He doesn't know it only the Father does. Don't force your destiny God does everything just right and on time.

Devotion Lord I pray for the timing of God. Help me not to become agitated while waiting. I pray for the patience to follow, in prayer I receive the instructions of your plan for my life. Your timing is appropriate. You have created me with the desire for eternal things and a realization that this life cannot be all there is, please reveal the plan to me in your timing that Your Will be done in Jesus Name Amen.

UN-DO!

S.E.E.D. For Today: Scripture: "Undo The Heavy Burdens" ( Isaiah 58:6 ) Example: There was a great deal of injustice in the land and with the rich exploiting the poor and the rulers using their authority only to make themselves richer. It was a conflict between truth and lies, just like in our land today. The people of God were no different in operating under the same system as this. But God called them out and wanted them to understand that their fasting was in vain if they did not undo the heavy burden they placed on others while still outwardly devoting themselves to religion or as they thought to God. Exercise: Let's invite the Holy Spirit to solve problems and aid us in lifting loads and overcome barriers that keep us and our loved ones from walking joyfully in the Lord. In self-denying love and care for others, let's undo any heavy burden or untie any yoke that we may have placed upon friends, family, associates or even employees. Devotion: Lord toda...

Bursting Out Of It!

S.E.E.D. For Today:  Scripture: "Is this not the the fast which I have chosen: Loosen the bonds of wickedness." ( Isaiah 58:6 ) Explanation: There should be the right motive when we fast. The people of God in Isaiah observed but there was no change in them. When fasting we do not want to look at it as a religious ritual, but a means to transformation. The fruit of repentance ought to be evident in relationship with one another and our neighbor. If we fast and persist in arrogance, stubbornness, fighting and strife then we are only doing this out of routine. Exercise: Prayer is important to experience the grace and power of God when fasting. Without the consistency of prayer we will not see breakthrough. God is challenging us to do the fast He has chosen, the first means of business is releasing or loosing the bonds of wickedness. Whatever besets itself and entangles you again under the same slave system of missing the mark with God has to let you go. I challenge you ...

MOTIVATE

S.E.E.D. For Today_ Motivate S-cripture Hebrews 10:24 "Let Us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works" NLT The author's exhortation of faith, hope and love elaborates on the greatest of this triad which is love. Love is the greatest way to motivate because it is communal that it reaches out to others. The writer incites the believer that with great enthusiasm we motivate one another to love and to do good works. Example Provoke, encourage, stimulate, push, sharpen, provide the stimulus needed to go forth or not give up. Exercise Today challenge yourself to think of ways to motivate one another, pick up the phone call someone and motivate them to continue in the Lord, motivate someone to forgive and move forward, love and not hate, to be confident in God's Word for their lives. Motivate one another not to let sin deceive them, think of ways to provide the stimulus needed for the individuals you consider to reach. Devotion Lord ...
