What is the time please?” I wonder how many times in the day that question is asked and answered after a glance at the clock!
It is “time to get up” or “time to go to school” or “dinner time” — and all through the day there is a time for everything we do.
In Eccl. 3:1, 21To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; (Ecclesiastes 3:1‑2) we read “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. A time to be born, and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted;” and the following verses in that chapter tell us of other things for which there is a set time.
But we do not need to look at the clock or the calendar to see if it is the correct time for the most important event in our lives, for
“Behold now is the accepted time, behold now is the day of salvation.” 2 Cor, 6:2.
“It is time to seek the Lord,” and if you put it off until tomorrow it may be too late.
