Day 188 – Do good work with your hands in the morning and night; let the Good Lord decide which time is Right.
Today’s Reading: Ecclesiastes 10 – 12
“In the morning sow your seed, and at evening withhold not your hand, for you do not know which will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good.” Ecclesiastes 11:6.
We all have a preference on which is our best time of the day. About 35 years ago I learned that I was 100% a morning person. I happened to be over at a friends house when it was confirmed. I ended up waking the whole house with singing at 6am, and to this day I’m not sure I was ever invited over again. I’ve clung to that naming and exercised my brain, Spirit, and body first thing, practically every morning since. That’s my prayer time, my run time, and my best work time.
However, 22 years ago I met a man that would be my forever mate, and his idea of awake time was when the shadows began to fall in the east. He really started waking as the day waned on. I may have been an early bird, but he was my late night owl making it very hard on our marriage to learn when to communicate with one another. But we had to compromise. Neither way is really the right way, they are both just different.
Whether you are an early morning riser or a late night snacker, you both have wings to fly. With these wings we must sow good seed always. God will choose which is right when final judgement comes, but until then we can’t decide for the other which is right, we must sow good seeds in every opportunity so that a good harvest can be produced.
