This time, I will Dance

This time, I will dance


Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Have you ever asked God for something, and He gave it to you, only to walk through it timidly? You found you have the one thing you asked for - yet you let life, people and circumstances dictate you - to your own misery. You let people intimidate you, or you worry about everything until you are a beat up pulp with no life left. Then the very thing you wanted is gone or removed partly due to the heartache you let it incur.

But what if He brings it back to your life. What will you do? Stare at it remember those horrible things that happened before… or will you trust the scripture and do what Paul so honorably states in Philippians 3:13b? Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Forget the past. Let go of the trouble. I know it’s hard, but Christ is there waiting for you to bring your burdens to him - for his Yoke is light(Matt 11:30).

So the question remains.

What will you do this second time around?
This new season God is bringing you.

There is a season for everything (Ecc. 3:1)
Ecc. 3:4b ‘A time to grieve and a time to dance”

Last time, I grieved. I lost. I went gray (headed.)
This time, I will dance (and bring along my root cover-up).

What is God saying to you dear one?
Dance.
