Ecclesiastes 3
1) To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven: 2) A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which 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 together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6) A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7) A time to rend, 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.
As we enter into a new season, what can we glean from Ecclesiastes 3:1-8? It encourages us to cherish the moment. Whether you are in a season of building up or breaking down, there is a purpose in this season. Embrace it, learn from it, and find joy in it. As we go through life’s seasons, let us trust in God’s timing and plan, finding joy and meaning in every moment. And let us support each other through all the seasons of life, remembering that together, we can face all challenges under Heaven with His armor on us!
Yours in Christ,
Pastor Jeff
