Ecclesiastes 3
TIME HAS COME TODAY
Chamber Brothers
ECCLESIASTES 3
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
(V2) a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
(V3)a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
(V4) a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
ECC 3:5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
ECC 3:6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
ECC 3:7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
ECC 3:8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
Notice that in the list of the above opposites, that each action and it's opposite is considered worthy of an approriate time. This is not a list of do's and don'ts. It's only a list of do's. The only don't is performing the act out of season (or in its wrong time).
THOUGHT TO PONDER:
Does anybody know what time it is?

So I wanted to share with you something my 15 year old wrote on the back of an offering envelope this Sunday. "There's a time for everything but there's not time for everything." When I read it on Sunday upon picking it up from the pew, I didn't think too much about it. As I was cleaning off the table today it struck me that, that really was the point, because there is a time for everything of course there is not enough time to do everything that we want to do as much as we want to do it. We must be thoughtful about this resource that God has given us and ask how do we use the time that we have? We have to spread it out and let each thing have it's part. Not too much of anything and little of something else. God wants us to have balance. Just my two cents.
