"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:" Ecclesiastes 3:1
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
"For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." - Matthew 18:20
Last night was truly encouraging with our first Thursday evening worship service. I know for myself, Sunday mornings hasn't been much of an option with work, family, travel, etc., so it was nice to meet up with fellow Christians, put all worldly matters aside and simply worship the Lord together.
"If the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed but skill will bring success." Ecclesiastes 10:10
Once again, multi-level meaning from our wise teacher, Solomon. This piece of wisdom is a well-spring, brimming with rich opportunities to harvest more truth than can be addressed in one devotional.
"The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride." Ecclesiastes 7:8
You may have learned this same wisdom through idioms like "Anything worth doing is worth doing well", or maybe even reading workplace signage like "Safety is no accident!" In this day and age; however, it seem everyone hurries about trying to get too many things done in too little time, measuring their accomplishments by the number of items checked on their To Do list. Corners get cut. Steps get skipped. Things get done, but are often a far cry from being done well...much less correctly.
