There's a time to...

Ecclesiastes 3 is a famous passage that basically says there's a time for everything. In my REACH Philadelphia intern's meeting today we were encouraged to make up our own on the fly. I didn't think these through in great depth and they aren't as deep as Solomon's words but here's what I jotted down in the moment.

There's a time to work and a time to rest.

There's a time to speak and a time to listen.

There's a time to correct and a time to soothe.

There's a time to remember and a time to forget.

There's a time to plan and a time to flow.

There's a time to walk and a time to run.

There's a time to be busy and a time to be still.

There's a time to feast and a time to fast.

There's a time to learn and a time to apply.

There's a time to smile and a time to frown.

There's a time to dream and a time to get real.

There's a time to compare and a time to be content.

I would encourage you to take a few minutes to make your own list.

Finally, I pray that God will give you the wisdom to know what time it is and for you to allow God space in your life to be present with you in the moment.
