Don Aslett, author of Done!: How to Accomplish Twice As Much in Half the Time at Home and at the Office, says average people can accomplish more than they think. “Time doesn’t need to be found,” he says. “It’s in plain sight, loudly ticking away. How we use time is the real question.”

For there is a time and a way for everything, although man’s trouble lies heavy on him. Ecclesiastes 8:6

Just before today’s verse, Ecclesiastes 8:5 says, “The wise heart will know the proper time and the just way.” And remember, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” (James 1:5)

How often have you said “I don’t have time to pray?” God equips you with what you need – wisdom, energy, resources, educations, skills and opportunity – to do what He wants you to do. And, as it implies in today’s verse, He does this even if you’re going through trials. Ask the Lord for insight concerning when and how to pray, and He will give it to you. When He does call you to that time of prayer, intercede for the nation and its leadership to take time to seek God’s priceless wisdom.
