There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
Ecclesiastes 3:1
This is a simple sentence but honestly, I find it quite difficult to comment on it. To put it in simple terms, it means that everything that is to happen, will happen in its due time appointed by God and no one can alter it. And if you read on to verse 9 it talks about 'What does the worker gain from his toil?' This verse talks about man trying to make things happen by their own effort when it is not God's will. And eventually they work in vain. But if you see the other side of it, it is actually telling us that if we work according to the timing and season of God, we will see enjoy our work and the blessings that comes along. But having said all these, I'm not just talking about good things and activities. It could come in forms of calamaties, trials, painful experience and etc, things that are not 'nice' in its nature. But if you fully understand this verse that everything happens in God's timing and that God's purpose for us is to prosper and not harm us (Jeremiah 29:11), even when times are bad, you will still trust in God that He is in control and He will deliver you through. So my brothers and sisters, if you are in any hard times, dun give up on yourself and nvr give up on God. He will definitely see you through.
