    If I Could Put Time In A Bottle

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026
     | 143 views

    Time is not random or meaningless; it unfolds under God’s sovereign care. Ecclesiastes 3 reminds us that life is lived in seasons, eternity is placed in the human heart, and meaning is found not in controlling time but in reverently offering it to God. What is given to Him is never wasted.

    There are moments in life when time feels generous. Days seem long. Weeks stretch out ahead of us. The future feels wide and open, almost indulgent. And then there are other moments when time suddenly feels thin — compressed, hurried, and slippery. One season we are wondering how to fill the hours, ...read more

    We have been in a series on the attributes of God- God’s love, His power, & God’s holiness. Today, we finish up the series by looking at God’s goodness. You and I have no idea how good God is. God is good “all the time” … all the time “God is good.”

The Hebrew’s picture of human existence in the nether world was one of gloom, shadow, even an inability to praise God. I think that the young man ...read more
