B.A.Y.O.R : TIMES AND SEASONS

In most cases, a knowledge of time and timing, guides our actions.

Generally speaking, we know when to go out or come in as determined by appropriate timing.

32 of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their command;

1^st Chronicles 12:32 (NLT)

If a season were likened to a train with several coaches;

then time could be likened to one of those coaches.

To my mind, time is like an event that occurred in eternity;

and eternity resides in God.

Our future is in God’s memory like our past is in ours;

true prophecy is a description, not an intention.

1 For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.

11 Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.

Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11 (NLT)

What a joy to serve the Almighty God who is not constrained by time and has the power to change times and seasons!

There’s no space for an extra hour between 11:59 pm today and 12:00 am tomorrow morning but, if man can “gain” extra time by flying across time zones, how much more will the Maker of Time who resides outside of time, step into time, to do in time what He spoke of before time?

13 You will arise and have mercy on Zion; for the time to favor her, yes, the set time, has come.

Psalm 102:13

20 Daniel answered and said: “Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and might are His.

21 And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.

22 He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with Him.

Daniel 2:20-22

WHAT IFS

What if someone like Elisha got distracted by the sons of the prophet and missed the timing of Elijah’s departure? (2^nd Kings 2:3)

What if the sons of Issachar had no understanding of the times, would all their brethren be at their command? (1^st Chronicles 12:32)

What if Daniel had not asked for time early enough, would his life and those of his friends be spared? (Daniel 2:14-23)

Father, may each month of this second quarter of 2018, deliver to me their fruits. (Deuteronomy 33:13-14, Psalm 1:3)

Addition and Multiplication generally tend towards increase.

The introduction of a plus sign to the left side of a basic equation is an indication that there will be more value on the right side of the equal sign.

Beyond being a symbol of His crucifixion, the cross, is somewhat symbolic of the addition that comes as a result of a personal encounter with the risen King.

DIVINE ALIGNMENT | APRIL 2017

Excerpt: A car in need of alignment, pulls off center and is more than likely to vibrate strangely on the road.
Such a car may still move but it tells on the tires over time.

it is wisdom to ensure constant course correction on life's journey.

May the Wisdom for Divine Alignment and Stability be yours this fourth month...

God Bless You!
