In The Great Orchestra We Call Life
“There are things only you can do,
and you are alive to do them.
In the great Orchestra we call life,
you have an instrument and a song,
and you owe it to God to play them both sublimely.”
Max Lucado: Quote is from his book, The Applause Of Heaven.
“In everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1 NKJV
“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10 NIV
PLAY ON!
“God has created each of us with a unique contribution to make in our world and our times. No other person has our same abilities, motivations, network of friends and relationships, perspectives, ideas, or experiences. When we, like misplaced puzzle pieces, fail to show up, the overall picture is diminished.” Richard Stearns: President of World Vision U.S.
Quote from his book: The Hole in our Gospel
“In everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1 NKJV
As Roy Lessin states in his June 21st devotion, “Seasons”, in His Footsteps My Pathway, “Within God’s will for your life there will be seasons when certain opportunities, ministries, circumstances, and relationships move in or out of your life, like the seasons of the year that change around you.
There will be winter seasons when things are quiet, and you sense those special times when you are shut-in with God; there will be spring seasons when you sense renewal freshness, and God bringing forth new vision and new directions in your life.
There will be summer seasons filled with growth, endurance, and strength for labor; there will be fall seasons when you will see beauty; change, and the ingathering of the harvest of your labors.”
Each of us are in different seasons of our lives, some in retirement or near retirement and wondering what is next? Or you may have just sensed the Lord leading you to change jobs, or find another “volunteer” opportunity.
Volunteering so all the pieces of the puzzle are in the correct spot
