There is a
time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be
born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill
and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and
a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones
and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to
search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time
to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to
love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.

「凡事都有定期,天下萬務都有定時」,這句話提醒我們要把握時機,這是基督徒重要的時間觀。也因為把握時機的觀念,使基督徒知道該抓住耶穌同在的機會,為主做美好的見證,發揮基督在我們身上的賜福,這就是永生。
所以保羅勸勉我們:『因為他說:「在悅納的時候,我應允了你;在拯救的日子,我搭救了你。」看哪,現在正是悅納的時候!現在正是拯救的日子。』
既然如此,我們要趁著可尋求主的面時,努力尋求!以免將來,心中後悔,就來不及了!
