Text Ecc. 3:1-15

        When you read through the text a song may come to mind...“To everything, turn, turn, turn/ There is a season, turn, turn, turn” The passage is a commentary on life. How there is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven (3:1). At the end of the passage the conclusion is that God is in control of time. I love verse 11, “He has made everything beautiful in its time...”. That includes us. God is always at work in us and it is often in the hard times that He makes us beautiful. One of my favorite lines from the songs comes from Jesus Messiah, “All our hope is in you...All glory to you, the Light of the World”. This reminds me that Jesus was the plan from the beginning. That if we place our hope in anything else, life becomes meaningless. We find our meaning in Christ.
