It's About Time


Then the LORD appointed a set time, saying "Tomorrow the LORD will do this thing in the land." 
 Exodus 9:5
 
Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? Job 7:1a


Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the LORD, till He comes and rains righteousness on you.  Hosea 10:12


"Take heed, watch and pray, for you do not know when the time is."  Mark 13:33

But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.  Galations 4:4,5


But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; He is their strength in the time of trouble.  Psalm 37:
 
For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You in a time when You may be found; surely in a flood of great waters, they shall not come near him.  Psalm 32:6


O LORD, be gracious to us; we have waited for You.  Be their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.  Isaiah 33:2

You will arise and have mercy on Zion; for the time to favour her, yes the set time, has come.  Psalm 102:13

Is anything to hard for the LORD?  At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son . . . for Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.  Genesis 18:14, 21:2


But as for me, my prayer is to You, O LORD, in the acceptable time; O LORD in the multitude of  Your mercy, hear me in the truth of Your salvation.  Psalm 69:13



"For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish,  yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"  Esther 4:14


It is time for You to act, O LORD, for they have regarded Your law as void.  Psalm 119:126


To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven;
a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck 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;
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to gain and a time to lose; a time to keep and a time to throw 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 of war and a time of peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8


He has made everything beautiful in its time.  Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end. 
Ecclesiastes 3:11

In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: 
 "Do not fear; Zion, let not your hands be weak. 
The LORD, your God, in your midst, the Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you in His love;
He will rejoice over you with singing. 
I will gather those who sorrow over the appointed assembly,
who are among you, to whom its reproach is a burden. 
Behold at that time, I will deal with all who afflict you;
 I will save the lame, and gather those who were driven out;
I will appoint them for praise and fame in every land where they were put to shame. 
At that time I will bring you back, even at that time I gather you;
for I will give you fame and praise among all the people of the earth,
when I return your captives before your eyes," says the LORD.  Zephaniah 3:16-20


And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.  Romans 13:11


Humble yourselves therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.  1 Peter 5:6

  2. Dear Andrea Dawn,

    I think you must live in Narnia after Aslan defeated the White Witch. I could go around and around my city and not find such beauty. The architecture, the plants, the sea, the streets...all so "movie-set" beautiful. I wonder would you do a series on the unlovely around you? What would that look like?

    Anyway, I get so lost in looking at your pictures. The depth of focus, the shadows, the angles. I wonder how you do it: how you see it, how you shoot it.

    And then, you add the Scriptures. When you gather them all together around one theme they shout their message, "IN HIS TIME" Ok, ok I will be patient. I will yield. I will rest. It is so clear when He says it over and over across the centuries to many different people.

    Thanks for lending me your eyes for just a little bit,
    Dawn

  5. my dear friend... I see your heart so clearly
    ...thank you for the blessing of the gathering/ photos and God's Word
    It is profitable to return again and again!
    I love,"til He comes and rains righteousness on you". And I love all the clocks and "in His Time".
