God has Appointed Time

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth, and He saw that it was good. From the book of Genesis we can see that God made everything. He spoke all things into existence. But there is one problem we all face. Man sinned, and the fall of man cursed the earth with sin.
And in the beginning,God promised to reverse this curse. Look at Genesis 3:15. "I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel."
 We have a sin problem, and everyday we all are faced with life and the ups and downs that come along with it.
There is a time for everything. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 explains:
"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up 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 together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast 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 for war, and a time for peace."
The bottom line to life is, DON'T WASTE IT.
God will bring every act into judgment, whether good or evil. And the one man he will send back to judge the world will be Jesus.
"The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead." ~Acts 17:30-31
