When I read the book of Ecclesiastes perhaps for the thousandth time I came to realize that time is indeed precious. During the course of the day, I am sure that we all wish we had more time. However, we must be honest and say exactly what did I do in the course of the day to make a difference in the lives of others.

I believe that we have been given a great opportunity to take time out of our busy schedule to make a huge difference in the lives of our church members and guests. We are being asked to expand our space and make the present working condition just a little more comfortable for work and worship within our church.

In addition to the thinking we never have enough time is the excuse of now is not the time because…the list will go on for not doing it now. Just as we found time within the day to make a difference, I chal-lenge you to turn the excuses into reasons for going forward. As the preacher stated in Ecclesiastes 3:1, “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” I say that now is the time to step out on faith and let God lead your heart and mind. Today is the time to believe and put your faith into action. It is not by our own wisdom or knowledge that the capital campaign will be successful but by faith and prayer to our all mighty God that we are moving on His time.

Keep the faith, lean on God while you are doing the best work possible with the precious time you have to offer.

Have faith in God… Therefore, I say unto ye. What things so ever ye desire, When ye pray, believe that ye receive them and ye shall have them. –Mark 11:22, 24
