Ecclesiastes 3 - A Time for Everything
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven
a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot
a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
.....
He has made everything beautiful in its time.
He has also set eternity in the hearts of men
Have you ever experienced a time in your life when the world just comes to a standstill. For that brief few seconds or even longer, there is nothing in your mind at all. The momentum of your everyday activity is challenged by something out of the norm of your expectations. Your system automatically tries to get the body to function back to normal. The facts set in and an internal conversation begins, mainly with whys. Why did this happen? Why did God allow it? God, why?
God whispers in your ear. Everything is all right, I am here. I am in control. There is a time for everything and in my timing, I have made all things beautiful. Look to me for HOPE. God waits patiently for a response from us.
Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it” - Charles R.Swindoll
