A Time for Everything

A Time for Everything

 ¹ There is a time for everything,
   and a season for every activity under the heavens:

 ² a time to be born and a time to die,
   a time to plant and a time to uproot,
 ³ a time to kill and a time to heal,
   a time to tear down and a time to build,
 ⁴ a time to weep and a time to laugh,
   a time to mourn and a time to dance,
 ⁵ a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
   a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
 ⁶ a time to search and a time to give up,
   a time to keep and a time to throw away,
 ⁷ a time to tear and a time to mend,
   a time to be silent and a time to speak,
 ⁸ a time to love and a time to hate,

   a time for war and a time for peace. 

-Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

 

God never ceases to amaze me. In every situation and every circumstance He has a plan. The author and finisher of our salvation the beginning and end God is in control and everything is in his perfect timing. Saturday night a big change was announced at the Prayer in Harbor City Church. My Pastors Wes and Vanessa are leaving us in 3 months. It was complete shock and still is. pretty fresh. Theses two people have invested in my life immensely and helped me grow into the Christian  I am today, as they have with many youth and adults alike. They will be missed but I know that God has big things ahead for my life and Generation Church as well.

God doesn't make mistakes. This is going to be a growth and stretching time personally and corporately and believe me it isn't going to be comfortable. But God isn't going to leave us hanging He is the friend who sticks closer than a brother and will always have our back.

If I have learned anything form my Pastors it is that God has a calling and a place for each of us, and with Him all things are possible and Whatever you do don't back down, keep pressing in and expect great things form the God of the Universe.

Lets use these circumstances as a time to seek God and launch.

1 Samuel 17:1-58 Is the story of David & Goliath. In the story you see that David took on Goliath and won! (Which is amazing and proves how nothing is impossible with God on your side.) But the thing I will always remember about it is that there were steps taken for him to get where he needed to be so he could successfully take on Goliath. 

1. First David killed a Lion.

2. Second David killed a Bear

3. Last because David was faithful he kicked Goliath's butt!

There is going to be spiritual battles and testing of our faith but you have to have them to get to the next level.

Lets be faithful like David!
