"In the
morning sow thy seed,
and in
the evening withhold not thine
hand:
for thou
knowest not whether shall
prosper,
either
this or that,
or whether they both
shall be alike
good."
Ecclesiastes 11:6
Cycle of Life
Have you ever really
considered the cycle of life
through the flowers of our
gardens or perhaps the tiny
ant who carries off a crumb of
bread? How about the budding
trees of Spring, or the Fall,
as leaves change into
beautiful colors? They're
all here for a season, then
gone for awhile, But . . .
they always return.
This is their "Circle of
Life."
We, ourselves, have a life
cycle also, though we seem to
be unaware of it at times. Our
daily lives are a routined
cycle of life. We get up each
day at approximately the same
time; we have our coffee, eat,
shower, and dress in a timely
manner; we leave for our work
journey in time enough to
begin our work day; we travel
home to a time spent with our
loved ones.
For the majority, the cycle
remains close knit with each
and every day.
Now, think about the daily
cycle of your life . . .
Are you content with it?
No matter what our daily
routine is, are we keeping in
mind Who the Giver of each new
day is? Who gives us the new
opportunity each day to wake
up and look at life with a new
perspective?
Do we wake up with a thankful
heart and say,
"Good Morning, Lord!"
Or is your attitude one of,
"Good Lord, it's morning!?"
Every morning begins a new day
for us. A new cycle! The
beginning of another day
provides opportunity for new
challenges. It is God's way of
opening a door for us to get a
fresh start, to make a new
beginning, to have another
chance.
No matter what we think or
feel, no matter what we have
done or left undone, without
exception, God offers us His
forgiveness. There is not a
limit to that forgiveness~no
end to those future chances.
Always, God is ready to say,
"Try again. My grace surrounds
you. I love you not because
you do not fail, I love you
despite your failures."
Won't you look at your cycle
in life today,
and look to God for direction?
"Truly the light is
sweet, and a pleasant
thing it is
for the
eyes to behold the sun:
But if a
man live many years,
and rejoice in
them all;
yet let
him remember the days of
darkness;
for they
shall be many.
All that cometh is
vanity."
