A Time for Everything
The third chapter of Ecclesiastes opens with the thought,
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven,” (NIV)
It is followed by several verses naming common life events or activities and their opposites.
This passage is meant to remind us we don’t have control of our lives or of the things that happen in it.
God does.
God decides when a man is supposed to be born and when he is supposed to die.
God appointed the seasons for planting and harvesting.
God is in control.
God keeps everything balanced.
