ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE FOR 8TH NOVEMBER 2023.
Today’s text speaks of the significance of time and season for every action and business under the sun. The early part of the message is impressed upon our hearts with the use of contrast or opposites (vv. 2-8). The passage clearly reflects that God allocates time and season for every action. It equally reveals that time is of essence in whatever one does.
God deals with time and seasons for the accomplishment of His purposes and we must understand this in order to make the most of the times and seasons allocated to us by God. The passage also indirectly exhorts us to strive to be fulfilled within the time God allocates for achieving each purpose.
Beloved, we must strive to be fulfilled in life between the time of your birth and death (v.2) without allowing other people’s fulfilment or achievements to intimidate us.
This is because our time of accomplishing a business may be different from theirs. Do not compare, but seek to learn from others what can help you to achieve your purpose of living better. We will be judged based on how we spend the time allocated to us for a purpose or action.
It will be profitable for us to spend our time frame and space on earth seeking to do the will of God such as investing in the lives of others to assist them find fulfillment in life, working for the expansion of God’s kingdom, spending our energy on things that bring joy to the heart of God and men around us and also enjoying God and whatever He has given us in this short duration on earth.
PRAYER: Lord, help me to live happily with whatever you have assigned for me in life, Amen.
