A Time for Everything

Ecclesiates 3
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.

What kind of time are you going through right now?

Be encouraged! Whatever you may be going through, God had planned it to be that way. The bad things have to happen, so we know what the good things are. How would we know what true happiness was if we had never experienced true sorrow? We must first experience life to see that it is fullfilled. God doesn't want us to go through these times alone either. He made a mate for Adam and he made a mate for you to. Along with your "mate", you have friends in Christ! Praise Jesus!! Without them, where would you be today? I have experienced too many things not to share them with friends, whether it be births of my children or quiet time when I needed someone to talk to. Find your "mate" in Christ and stay encouraged. Whatever time you are going through right now, endure and know that "the Joy comes in the morning," maybe not tomorrow morning, but some morning coming.


The rest of Ecclesiates 3 goes well with the first part of the scripture, so take some time and study it. Take a quiet moment with God.
Praying for my loved ones and friends today. You are loved.
