Days of Heaven on Earth?

Eccl 3:1-8
To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:

2 A time to be born,
And a time to die;
A time to plant,
And a time to pluck what is planted;
3 A time to kill,
And a time to heal;
A time to break down,
And a time to build up;
4 A time to weep,
And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn,
And a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones,
And a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace,
And a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to gain,
And a time to lose;
A time to keep,
And a time to throw away;
7 A time to tear,
And a time to sew;
A time to keep silence,
And a time to speak;
8 A time to love,
And a time to hate;
A time of war,
And a time of peace.
NKJV

Gen 8:22
22 "While the earth remains,
Seedtime and harvest,
Cold and heat,
Winter and summer,
And day and night
Shall not cease."
NKJV

What time is it? Knowing the season helps you prepare for the future. Enjoy today because you only get to live it once. Relish the present while you prepare you for the future. Walking with God is an adventure. He will lead you into the unknown. You can discover something new everyday because God reveals Himself and His awesome majesty to those who seek Him. Some things stay the same but everything is better with God. He enhances life with joy and peace and enriches it with His love. Whatever time or season you are I believe God wants you to experience and enjoy and not just endure and exist. Even in the bad times you don’t take pleasure in the pressing but in your ever present God who is greater than the pressure. He has promised to be with always you so you can rejoice everyday no matter what may come your way because the One who makes heaven heavenly is the same One who lives in you!

Deut 11:13-21 KJV (Caps. added)

13 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to LOVE THE LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

14 That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.

15 And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.

16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;

17 And then the Lord's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the Lord giveth you.

18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.

19 And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

20 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:

21 That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers to give them, as the DAYS OF HEAVEN UPON THE EARTH.


Matt 6:9-13 NKJV (Caps. added)

9 In this manner, therefore, PRAY:

Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
10 Your kingdom come.
YOUR WILL BE DONE
ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
13 And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
