    If I Could Put Time In A Bottle

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026
     | 81 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

    Life often presents us with situations where our desires are not met in our expected time, even after prayers. It's during these times that God is patiently waiting for a reason. Don't give up, but rather, wait for Him. His timing is perfect and always worth the wait.

    We often struggle to see beyond our immediate challenges, yet Nahum was able to perceive something greater. His deep understanding of God's Grace allowed him to see beyond his immediate circumstances and emotions.

    I want to focus on the powerful message found in the first four words of Nahum 1:7: "The Lord is good." Although the book of Nahum can be challenging to read and preach from, it is important to note that the minor prophets' messages are just as significant as those of the major prophets. The book ...read more
