Life Help Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: 2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, 6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, 8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. THIS PRETTY well covers it, don’t you think? We live in a world of change. The events of time and conditions of human life are very different and occur in conjunction with each other as life moves from moment to moment. And what causes life to move and events to change? Of course, it is God, the Maker of Heaven and earth. You do not have the power to change what is appointed for you, but you do have the Lord to guide you through what he gives you. People will say, “God doesn’t give you what you can’t handle.” That’s not true. He gives you life you can’t handle on your own. He wants you to turn to his wisdom to help you know what to do. It’s True! Life comes from God. So does His wisdom to live life.
