Daily Devotion for May 19

SCRIPTURE:  Ecclesiastes 3:8

 A Time for War, a time for peace.

 

TENSION

On the one hand, there is “a time for war;” and on the other hand thee is a time for peace.”

 

QUESTION:  How do we know what time is it?

 

OBSERVATION 

We always have a choice.

 

POINT

To choose wisely is discernment

 

PRAYER TO PONDER

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;

courage to change the things I can;

and wisdom to know the difference.

 

Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time;

Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;

Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it;

Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will;

That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next.  Amen.       --Reinhold Niebuhr
