To
everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven.
“I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the
night is coming when no one can work.”
لِكُلِّ
شَيْءٍ أَوَانٌ، وَلِكُلِّ أَمْرٍ تَحْتَ السَّمَاءِ زَمَانٌ.
"فَعَلَيَّ أَنْ أَعْمَلَ أَعْمَالَ
الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي مَادَامَ الْوَقْتُ نَهَاراً. فَسَيَأْتِي اللَّيْلُ، وَلاَ
أَحَدَ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ فِيهِ."
Ecclesiastes
3:1
John 9:4
As Solomon said: for everything there is a
season. Though not included
in the list of appropriate seasons that followed, I believe this principle
rings just as true: “There is a time to act—and a time
to wait.”
How do we know if God wants us to wait
upon Him, as in Isaiah 40:31: But those who wait
on the LORD
or
God wants us to act as Jesus commented in John 9:4 and as God told Joshua in Joshua 7:
“Get up! Why do you lie thus on your face?”
A way of answering that question could
be that we should act if we have fulfilled the following:
·
We have prayed and asked for God’s guidance
·
We have searched God’s word for guidance
·
We feel the prompting of The Holy Spirit
·
We have submitted to Jesus’ Lordship
·
We have seeked Godly counsel
I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba
Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and
Your deep everlasting love for me. Guide me God to seek Your desire and plan
for my life. I
pray that out of Your glorious riches You strengthen me with power
through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that I can always submit to Your guidance for my life. Give me wisdom and teach me God to
wait when necessary and to act when necessary. Help me to fully follow your
plan with confidence, faith, and courage, for You O’Lord are the only one who
knows the future and the only one who knows what is best for me and anyone I
impact. I declare
to the world that Christ is my Lord and Saviour and I pray in His Holy Name. To
Him be the glory and the power and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
