A time for every purpose under heaven (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
Wife, children, extended family, home, job, material blessings… Thank you Lord, for giving me these things - for a time. And I recognize they are all only for a time. Material things deteriorate over time; jobs may come and go; family and loved ones will pass sooner or later.
I have been given each of these things for a time, but I have You for eternity! Your love never fails, your mercy never stops, your grace always abounds. While the things of this life are destined to come to a certain end, the things of God are eternal.
But for a time…for this moment in time. For the things you have blessed me with at this time, I am thankful. I am thankful for this day and all it brings, and I look forward with expectation to that day when time is no more and I am in Your Blessed and Holy Presence.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. (1 Corinthians 13:13)
