time keeps on slipping

Ecclesiastes 3:1-11; Psalm 144 Blessed be th eLord, my rock; Luke 9:18-22

ecclesistes 3

"there is an appointed time for everything, and a time for everything under the heavens; a time ot be born, a time to die; a time to plant, a time to uproot; a time to kill, a time to heal; a time to tear down, a time to build; a time to weep, a time to laugh; a time t mourn, a time to dance; a time to scatter, a time to gather; a time to embrace, a time to separate; a time to seek, a time to lose; a time to keep, a time to cast away; a time to rend, a time to sew; a time to be silent, a time to speak; a time to love, a time to hate; a time of war, a time of peace...God has made everything appropriate to its time, and has put the timeless into man's hearts...


Time is the one thing we all have; time is always to short or too long; it is never enough when we want it and always too long when we don't.

But as we ponder time and its illusive reality the one thing that changes time as we know it is that in the fullness of time God becomes man and fills time with eternity.

Now that is something to think about; that is worth spending our time...

All time is embued with eternity and in time we discover the timelessness of God's love with every tick and tock of the clock.
