Time to Remember
There are times in our lives when we remember things that are important to ourselves and others, we remember our own birthdays and those of others. We remember when we passed our exams at school and how important they were for our path in life.
We remember when we had our 18th or 21st birthday, we were then old enough to be able to vote. We remember when we passed our driving test and we remember more sombre things like the dates when someone close to us has died.
A few weeks ago we remembered the men and women who died in our two world wars and the sacrifice they gave of their lives for our freedom.
As Christians we look forward to the season that is upon us very shortly, Christmas. We remember that it is the celebration of when Jesus was born and we also remember at this time that this event was all in God’s plan for His son to come to earth and live as a man.
It was also in God’s plan that Jesus should give His life for us so that when we put our trust in Him we can be forgiven for all our wrong doing and live a life with God in the mix to help in all circumstances in life. To be our guide in our lives and our comfort in hard times and rejoice with us in the good times.
In the book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible there is a passage declaring that there is a ‘Time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven’.
Is it time you gave God an opportunity to be in your life?
