Real Dudes,
Does God Owe Me? Not own, but rather owe. We have a lady in our Senior Saints group at Church that recently found out that she has cancer. Her response, “Why not me? Who am I that God can’t give me cancer, and that He should have given it to someone else?” We live in such a way sometimes that surely communicates to God that He owes us something. When we’re not happy, then we’re asking Him why we’re not, or why He made us unhappy. For the word happy, we can replace it with, “When we’re not experiencing peace, joy, health, etc.” Why can’t there be a season for everything in each of our lives, including in our own life? Why do we feel we deserve more than what we have? Below is a great passage to consider this morning and to talk one-on-one to the Lord about. Enjoy, Nate Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (NLT) A Time for Everything 3 For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. 2 A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest. 3 A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build up. 4 A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance. 5 A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away. 6 A time to search and a time to quit searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away. 7 A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak. 8 A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace.
