A Season For Every Activity
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity
under the heavens: 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 from embracing, 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.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
David’s life illustrates the seasons we all face. Those seasons
are filled with ups and downs.
The ups and downs can be family, health, financial,
relationships, and we never ever know how they will turn out.
We do a disservice to ourselves and others when we portray the
Christian life as peaceful and happy all the time. Instead, the Bible portrays
life as seasons that are up and down.
Every season needs faith to get us through it.
What season are you in?
