Never Stop: Loving God

The Teacher states, based on experience, that . . .
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven
Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV)
Picture
His statement expresses an assumption - namely, that since events and times have seasons, those events cease for a time.  For example, as articulated in verse four of the same chapter, one does not weep and laugh at the same time.  Nor does a person speak and remain silent simultaneously.  

Yet - just as to every thing there is a season, to most things there are exceptions.  Today's subject of this blog is such an exception.  When it comes to loving God, the season never ends.  To love our Creator is a lifelong endeavor.

1   There is a time for everything,
    and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2     a time to be born and a time to die,
    a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3     a time to kill and a time to heal,
    a time to tear down and a time to build,
4     a time to weep and a time to laugh,
    a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5     a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
    a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6     a time to search and a time to give up,
    a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7     a time to tear and a time to mend,
    a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8     a time to love and a time to hate,
    a time for war and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (NIV)
We can express our love for God even as we weep - knowing that He cares.  
We can praise the Lord as we laugh - giving voice to our joy.
We can speak words of exaltation to our King.
We can remain silent - listening for the Spirit to speak.
In times of war, we can love Him for His never-ending sovereignty.
In times of peace, we can love Him for His ever-present assurance.
We should love as we search for His plan.
We should love as we give up our goals that we realize are self-seeking.
We love Him as we build with stones.
We love Him as we drop our stones which we picked up to shame.
And we can never stop loving God by living our everyday Ordinary lives for Him.
