God's CHANGE

Ecclesiastes 3:2
"A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;"

In our series titled; Seasons of Life we are starting with the Flavors of Fall. We are learning, from the prophet Daniel; GOD "changeth the times and the seasons." As things change we have to recognize that God's hand is at work making things CHANGE.

And everyone knows it; the 1965 hit song "written" by Pete Seeger was released called "Turn! Turn! Turn!" The lyrics consist of the first eight verses of the third chapter of the biblical Book of Ecclesiastes. Which we are studying this week. Now every hippie and pop culture mavin knows these verses by heart even if they have never picked up the Holy Bible in their life.

"To every thing there is a SEASON, and a TIME to every purpose under the heaven:" All through our lives we are faced with different SEASONS and TIME is always changing. This is by God's design. We need to find our purpose in God's plan. God's CHANGE. 

Today's verse; "A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;" Birth and death are extreme end of the spectrum with usually a fair amount of time in between. Many seasons can make up our lives. Each season has it's own character. Each has activities unique to that time of year. Enjoy them all. Planting in harvesting spans just a season or two. They come with their own responsibilities and needs; take care of them and make the most of them.

Life has it's seasons, enjoy them too. Times of change relationships, situations, circumstances all change. It's a lot about feelings. Where ever you are the feelings can match situation or be in contrast. We can be in multiple seasons at once. Life is complicated. Our challenge is to find our purpose in God's plan. God's CHANGE.

obedient unto death

Philippians 2:8 "And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross." Are you offended? The creator of the universe became incarnate and walked with people. He served people. He sacrificed Himself for you and me. Was this work beneath Him? Did He have to do this? Why is THIS God's plan? Who am I to question GOD'S plan? In this letter, Paul's Holy Ghost inspired writing tells us to put others’ interests ahead of our own. Paul tells us to live from a spirit of selflessness, compassion, and unity, reflecting the character of Christ and His love for humanity. A love that is truly "MIGHTY!" "MIGHTY" is one of the names the prophet Isaiah recorded for the Messiah. This is NOT the typical way to be "MIGHTY." Jesus is GOD, and all the glory and majesty that comes with that. And God came down from heaven to be born into the family of people. GOD lived with us and died for us. ...

the donkey

Luke 19:32-34 "32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as He had said unto them. 33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? 34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him." God's Grand Plan is your REDEMPTION! Since GOD can make that happen, getting a donkey to ride into Jerusalem is easy! Before the celebratory crowd is shouting "HOSANNA!" Jesus sent 2 Disciples to get a donkey. What is described in today's verses is exactly the way Jesus said things would unfold. Here we can see Jesus is in charge of ALL creatures. The people and the donkeys!  In the verses leading up to here we can read that the Disciples are not getting it. They are thinking the Messiah was going to take David's throne. Take Israel back from the Roman occupation. People did not understand God's Grand Plan. Even though Jesus told them all. On their way to Jerusalem they pass through Jericho. Zacheas was there, the...

encouragement

Ephesians 6:10 "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might." We continue our study of the Lord's Prayer. This week, "Deliver Us From Evil." is also translated as "Deliver Us From The Evil One." We need to remain "sober" and "vigilant." A big part of this is studying the Holy Scriptures, like we are doing. We want to form a solid united front against Satan.  For the heart of our studies we turn to Paul's letter to the Ephesians. It was one of four letters Paul wrote while in prison in Rome. Paul cared deeply for the Ephesians. He lived with them for three years as this church was forming. He wants to encourage them and help them become successful. His words can help you and me today.
