The Seth Mokitimi Methodist Seminary had our Graduation today. This is the devotion I used:
Ecclesiastes 3:1 For everything
there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: 2 a time to
be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is
planted; 3 a time to
kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 a time to
weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 a time to
throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and
a time to refrain from embracing; 6 a time to
seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to throw away; 7 a time to
tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 a time to
love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.
Moreover:
there is a time to come to seminary and a
time to leave seminary
a time to learn and a time to put learning
into practice
a time to make much noise in chapel and a
time to be silent
a time to work in the garden and a time to
watch the plants grow
a time to ride in the seminary vehicle and a
time to walk
a time to eat seminary food and a time to eat
KFC
and there is a time to study and a time to
graduate;
Ecc 3:14 I know
that whatever God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it, nor
anything taken from it; God has done this, so that all should stand in awe
before him.
