Ecclesiastes
3 – Everything Has its Time
Every
season of a person’s life is determined and purposed by God. He is ultimately
involved in every beginning and ending, every growth and decline.
God
has set the boundaries of the harvest, and one’s observance of them affects the
bounty. In all of life, to do anything out of season limits the prospects for
full prosperity.
Killing
is not a criminal act in war or self-defense, but murder is always against
God’s law. (Ex. 20:13).
A
time to tear refers to tearing of the garment in mourning or hearing someone
blaspheme the name of God. God is in control of life and keeps everything in
balance. You feel pain in bereavement, but joy in birth. You are not always
weeping, and not always laughing. This gave Job strength in his trials. (Job 1:21).
We
must always discern as to when to speak and when to be silent.
What
God has put in the human heart cannot be discovered or fulfilled through the
experiences of this world because people are made for the next (Rom. 8:22). Still,
God has given us opportunities that He intends for His people to redeem (Eph.
5:16). Those who believe even in difficult times discover that God’s plan is
good.
To
spend life worrying about the mysteries of God means failing to rejoice in the
gift of God, the good of all one’s labor. Do not fear life, fear God. God’s
works are forever means that nothing can be added to them or taken away.
Wickedness
often resides where judgment and righteousness should be, What balances the
scale of justice is death, everyone is at the grave; eternal judgment will be
just. (2 Thess. 1:6-9). Until then, people must not be deterred by evil but
seek to enjoy what is in front of them, knowing that God is God.
