“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.”

Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NKJV)

Losing an hour of sleep feels small, but our bodies notice it. Our routines notice it. Even our attitudes notice it. Yet Scripture reminds us that God is the One who authors every season—including the ones that feel inconvenient or tiring.

Solomon wrote that there is “. . . a time for every purpose . . .” He wasn’t just talking about the big seasons of life. He was also pointing to the daily rhythms that shape us. Time change disrupts those rhythms, but it also invites us to pay attention. It nudges us to ask: How am I using the time God has given me? Am I living with intention or drifting through my days?

A new week and a new time rhythm give us a chance to reset. We shouldn’t resent the lost hour. This shift reminds us that God is still in control of our time. He also governs our pace and our purpose. When we surrender our schedule to Him, He aligns our hearts with His timing.

Prayer

Lord, as we step into this new week, help us adjust to the time change. Support us in embracing the season You’ve placed us in. Teach us to use our time wisely and walk in step with Your purpose. Renew our energy, steady our minds, and guide our priorities. In Jesus’ name, AMEN!
