In recent years it seems that all women are driven one way or another by time---living (or struggling) by another's idea of perfect timing, dealing with amounts of time, too much time taken up by "urgencies of work or needs of others, too little time for all the world says we SHOULD accomplish and much too little time available for relationships with family and friends. And oh yea----did I mention God!
God's "time economy" is different from ours. There is always enough time to accomplish all that He requires---time allotted for His purposes.
I said, ‘Plant the good seeds of righteousness,
and you will harvest a crop of love.
Plow up the hard ground of your hearts,
for now is the time to seek the Lord,
that he may come
and shower righteousness upon you.’ (Hosea 10:12, NLB)
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added (given) unto you. (Matthew 6:33)
All things. Even time. Previous verses in that chapter remind us that it's the Lord who grants our life span (time).
This week within the time which He granted me, I found that seeking Him first (before the onslaught of my virtually impossible schedule) resulted in an amazing conclusion. Time redemption. It wasn't why I sought Him, but God....gave it to me anyway.
A new concept of time. Time Redemption. It's His to give and He does, when we seek him FIRST!
