Ecclesiastes 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.

Galatians 6:9
And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

Ezekiel 12:23a; 28
Tell them therefore, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “I will lay this proverb to rest, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel.”
28 Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “None of My words will be postponed any more, but the word which I speak will be done,” says the Lord God.’ ”

Luke 1:45
Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord.”

Amos 9:15 (The Message Paraphrase)
I’ll make everything right again for my people Israel:
“They’ll rebuild their ruined cities.
They’ll plant vineyards and drink good wine.
They’ll work their gardens and eat fresh vegetables.
And I’ll plant them, plant them on their own land.
God, your God, says so.

We prayed...

In light of the vision Pastor Ric recently cast for 2025, we prayed for the fire of the Holy Spirit to ignite in our congregation. We need this empowerment to fulfill our part for the ingathering of this end time harvest. And we need that fire to burn into us the value of one soul - time is so short, eternity is so long.
