Prayer

Time to Walk with God

/ pastorpete51 / 1 Comment

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:  Ecclesiastes 3:1 KJV

We rush off on schedule to work and then hurry through dinner to watch our favorite Television show at night. We schedule an hour for lunch with a friend or squeeze in 30 minutes for an oil change for our car. Maybe we stop for a moment to pray as we wake up and sit through an hour at church on Sunday. But do we leave time to really take the time to listen to what God wants to say to us today?

According to God’s word there is time for everything. He has allowed us time for loving, hating, building tearing down, making peace and starting wars as well as for birth and death. He has opened His calendar and is waiting to see if in the middle of all our activities we will pause long enough to notice our need for time with Him.

God has promised an eternity of time to everyone who believes on His Son Jesus Christ. He has promised to wipe away every tear, invite us to His table and make a place for us in Heaven. He has promised us everlasting joy and rest. He has promised all the time in the universe to spend with Him.  But, have I taken time to to walk with Him today?

 

Two Men and Two Boats

Two Men in Two Boats

To the sea one day two men went down

Paul as a prisoner and Jonah skipping town

“I’m out of here!” was all Jonah could say

Then he slept through the storm when he should have prayed

 

But prisoner Paul cried to God in his boat

Till an angel came down with a message of hope

Then with determination he encouraged his friends

Saying Jesus would keep them all safe in the end

 

It took a big fish to get Jonah to go

Tell others of mercy and God’s love for the world

But our friend Saint Paul shows us the right way

That if God sends the storm we must trust and obey!
