TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL (TUESDAY 2ND June 2026)
“I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.”
“He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.”
“I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.” Ecclesiastes 3:10-12 KJV
WELCOME TO THE 153RD DAY OF OUR YEAR OF STRATEGIC VICTORIES!
It is the second day of our month of Jubilee, yes Jubilee de golden. The LORD has done us well, and we are glad. We look forward to His mercies, kindness, grace and compassion this month. If we have all that in our lives, then no weapon that might be formed against us will prosper.
Today God has a word for us; daily He loads us with benefits, one of such benefits is the benefit of His word. His words that when applied will fill our lives with His blessings, miracles and amazing wonders. Though difficult to apply if you are carnal but remains our best shot in a wicked world.
To start with, the scripture of our devotional text today is loaded with mysteries about time – truths that we will need a move of the Spirit in our spirits to uncover. Friend, life in time is a gift that comes with many opportunities. I believe that the life we have all lived from January till date came with many opportunities as well.
The maximization of these opportunities, created by God, remains what we must all do in time.
Beautifully, some have used the opportunities God created for them in time to do God’s righteous will for their personal lives; they used it to change their behavior, understanding, relationships, and even places of worship. Now they are experiencing God in deeper ways, further broadening their understanding and strengthening their faith.
There is a lot of improvement in their spiritual lives.
Their decisions made it possible for all that to happen. Decisions remain the controller of destinies. If you make the right one concerning an aspect of life, it will give you so much peace and prosperity in that aspect. If you make the wrong one, it will give you war. Decisions are the strongest forces on earth. They control how our lives turns out in time and eternity.
Sadly, there are those who have not made a positive use of this year yet. Today they are worse, and some either still stagnant or completely hopeless. Things are not working for them. Sadly, some are even dead. Very heartbreaking how our decisions can shape our lives very badly. Life can only be better if our decisions are better.
That is why God speaks to us. He gives us light and understanding so we can make better decisions in life and live improved lives.
HE GIVES US LIGHT TO MAKE PROPER DECISIONS.
Now, it is important that we know what proper decisions are. Proper decisions are decisions that aligns a man’s life with God’s will and ways. Proper decisions will bring the best of God to a man’s life. To make them is the reason God gives His Spirit, word and revelation. It is the reason He blesses us with fathers and teachers.
It is the reason He commission some to preach His word. It is the reason He inspires the devotionals. He inspires them to help us improve our decision making. He inspires spiritual feeding for the same.
That is why, without a spiritual father to feed you with rich spiritual food, a divine plan to guide you daily, some natural and divine wisdom to apply in your daily decision making processes, and a courageous heart to use in facing the challenges of life squarely with the aim of defeating them under God, a year will come and go and leave you worse than it met you.
This is the middle of the year; you can still do something you never did before to make the year beautiful. If you do not make proper decision now, the year might leave you in a very bad shape. You will be stepping into 2027 in sorrow and disappointment. But that is not God’s will for you, hence sending this word to stir you.
The LORD has given us another six months to use in making the right decisions and improving our lives. Another six months to be fed spiritually, develop a divine plan to follow if we have none, apply our hearts unto wisdom, make proper decisions, face the challenges of life courageously under God, and do His blessed will.
God wants you to make use of the next six months to make sure the year leaves you more blessed than it met you. God’s purpose for creating days, weeks, months and years must be understood! They are created to help us mark signs and seasons. They are created to help us number our days so we can apply our hearts to wisdom.
THAT IS WHY I SAID AGE IS NOT A NUMBER. IT IS A MESSAGE.
It is a message that you are older and seen enough time to make proper decisions. It is a message that you have seen enough time to stop being stupid and foolish.
Yes, it is a message that you have seen enough time not to marry someone younger than you in very ridiculous years. You have seen enough time to know that it is lawless to do so. You have seen enough time to apply your heart unto wisdom. That is why people say a fool at forty is a fool forever.
Meaning you should no longer be a fool at forty. But many are still fools even at 50, 60 and 70. Their age has not spoken anything to them. They have refused to pick the message of wisdom concealed in their ages. They are still driven by emotions like children.
If we do not make use of the days, weeks, months and years God gives us wisely, and spend them applying our hearts unto Heavenly and practical wisdom, we will lose big time. We will come to the end of our days in sorrow.
Friend, the end of your days can only be as good as the quality of your wisdom. Do not forget that and do not mix it up!!
It may interest you to be reminded again (as we have always done through this devotionals) that God does not live in time. He lives in eternity. To Him therefore, there are no natural nights, no days, no weeks, no months; no January to June or July to December.
God lives in eternity, created time as a very small piece of eternity, placed us in it and gave us wisdom on how to live in it. He does not do things according to our Calendar. He does them according to His. He created our Calendar (natural days) and placed us within it so we can live in our Calendar looking at His calendar.
Your life on earth will only be meaningful if you spend it looking at God’s calendar for it. Yes, looking at His own unique calendar for your earthly life.
YOU MUST THEREFORE UNDERSTAND THAT GOD’S PLANS FOR US ARE NOT IN TIME. GOD’S PLAN FOR US ARE IN ETERNITY.
They are only unfolded in time to enable us to lead our lives according to His calendar for them. In other words, we are not to be governed by our own time alone but by His. Consequently, things do not leave Heaven to the earth in our own time frame.
They do so in His own time frame.
Sadly, sometimes His time frame clashes with ours and since many of us do not know how to recognize or submit to His time, we end up losing whatever He may have prepared to bless our lives with. That is why the Life of many Christians goes in a cycle from year to year.
They do not know how to recognize God’s time of visitation and things that makes for their peace.
Sadly, instead of their preachers giving them the anointing or sound teachings to do so, they point them to the altars of their father’s houses and some devils as being responsible for their problems. Jesus Himself made it clear that many of us suffer and are stagnated in life because we do not know our time of visitation.
In other words, we do live our earthly lives according to God’s calendar for them.
If we do not humble ourselves under the mighty hand of the LORD, lead our lives according to His calendar for them, we will not be experiencing seasonal exaltations. We will be missing divine visitations and breakthroughs. The Bible says;
“Be you humbled therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in the time of visitation: Casting all your care upon him, for he hath care of you.” 1 Peter 5:6-7 Douay-Rheims
God’s visitation and exaltation comes in season. We are not to allow our cares to force us into carving out our own Calendars and making decisions according to our plans for our lives. That will be dangerous. It is very important to learn how to relate successfully with God who lives in eternity while you are in time.
ONE OF THE MANY WAYS TO RELATE SUCCESSFULLY WITH HIM IS TO KNOW HIS TIME OF VISITATION AND BE READY FOR IT.
A major highlight in our devotional text today says,
“I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. He hath made everything beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.”
The word “travail” in this scripture simply means God given task. It has nothing to do with suffering or adversity. The Bible was referring to what God has assigned us to do within our own time frame. And that to me is to discover His time and align to it – align to its demands. Or in other words, respond to it!
God’s time comes with deliverances to receive, blessings to collect, instructions to obey, visions to pursue and execute, plans and purpose to make our goals, etc. That is why His time is called “day of visitation.” It is usually full of divine moments to sense and see through with the eyes of faith.
One thing about divine moments is that when they come and we do not see, sense, and cease them, they go back to eternity, leaving us dry. That is why many of us are still stagnated in life.
Don’t forget, until things leave Heaven to the earth of our lives, we will never go forward in life. And the time they do so is called God’s time not our time. That is why they say, God’s time is the best. No one has ever said our time is the best. That brings us to the second truth we can glean from our devotional text. It says “He hath made everything beautiful in his time:”
Why is God’s time so powerful? It is powerful because that is the only time He moves to make things beautiful! If you wait for Him in your own time, you will never see Him. I Pray that we allow the timings of the LORD guide us all the days of our lives. That we know how to make proper decisions. Amen and amen.
LET THIS SCRIPTURE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR YOU TODAY!
Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.”
“For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.” Luke 19:41-44 NKJV
