Eccl 3: 1
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.
King Solomon in his wisdom wrote the book of Ecclesiastes and
he described the conditions of our lives. In the opening verses he described every
activity under the heavens. He pointed out all the activities and a series of
opposites describing how there is a time for everything.
In the first verse he said, ‘a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plan and a time to
uproot.’ King Solomon saw the frailty of man and how helpless men are on
the earth. Every and all things are in the control of God’s plans and purpose.
There is nothing that we can do to change it. King Solomon could see that there
are cycles in life and there are fixed times for changes.
However, he acknowledged that God is in every change and He
is in control. All these are the works of God and everything that God does will
endure forever.
As we look around us, many of us are in the sunset years of
our lives and we can remember the days when we were little children, the games
that we played, the friends we had and all of a sudden we are already old and
have families and some of our friends are also no longer with us.
The times and seasons fly
so quickly and before we realized it, we have live a full life and are
ready to return to our heavenly home. The one thing we need to remember is that
we must consciously put our lives in order so that we may be ever ready to go
into our destiny.
