“To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: ² A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted; ³ A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up; ⁴ A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance; ⁵ A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing; ⁶ A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away; ⁷ A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak; ⁸ A time to love, And a time to hate; A time of war, And a time of peace.⁹ What profit has the worker from that in which he labours? ¹⁰ I have seen the God-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied. ¹¹ He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.”

Whether we are looking forward or looking back, we cannot but come to the awesome realization that God is in control and we are not! What comfort and courage we derive from that! While we are struggling or battling to make sense of things of things and find our way in a world that seems so confused…how great is it to know, that our God is good, righteous and just. That even though we may be prone to making mistakes, we can put out trust in the One who never makes mistakes! That not only can we entrust out eternity to Him…but also our today!
