there is a season

First Reading: Psalm: Gospel:

Ecclesiastes 3:1-11 Psalm 144:1-4 Luke 9:18-22

Ecclesiastes 3:1  For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:

In our fast food society we want everything to happen now.  That is partly why we are having such financial problems. True faith recognizes that God works according to his time and his time and plan is better than what we can imagine.  We are not very wise because there is so much that we don't know and because of our selfishness and carnality we can't know.

Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to realize all that I don't know and to be patient and trusting that you have the wisdom and the power and the love that is best for me.

Amen
