Scripture
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
Lesson
The Bible teaches us that there is a time for everything and is important to remember that.
Sometimes we forget that and want to do things when we want. For example I have to remember that there is a time to speak and a time to be silent because I like to talk and sometimes I don't need to be talking but listening.
Questions for kids
Think of a time when you did or said something and it was the wrong time to do that? Why was it the wrong time?
Think of a time of a time when something you did and it was the right timing? When was that time?
Application
Let's pray for God to help us to do things in his time not ours.
