Every Matter

Christian Leadership Alliance

How do we ever fully comprehend a creator who has perfectly appointed a time for every matter under heaven?

As this new year begins, let’s greet it with an eager expectation and confidence. Praise to the God who completes what he starts, makes all things possible, and remains faithful in every matter under heaven!

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

a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, ESV

So be encouraged and embrace God’s timing in every matter as this year unfolds. We pray God keeps you always centered to his perfect will, purpose, and plan.

Happy New Year
