Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to
refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
Linking up with Deidre and the Sunday Community, and Scripture and a Snapshot!
Hey My Friend ~
ReplyDeleteAs a counselor, I'm a big believer in seasons of life. They change, we morph, we let go of what no longer is healthy or works well, we embrace what God has in the fresh season.
Love this passage!
Yes, Linda. We do morph, and sometimes the "morphing" can be painful. However, we must know , with full assurance, that the "morphing" has purpose.
DeleteYes, HE is the author of TIME.
ReplyDeleteAmen, Sonya! Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteSuch a great reminder that we run on God's time and not our own. Thank you for sharing this. I hope you have a blesse week.
ReplyDeleteKalley, if we can ever get a full understanding that we run on HIS timing, I believe that we would live a less stressful life!
DeleteThat has always been one of my absolute favorite passages! Lovely image too!
ReplyDeleteMarty, I like this scripture , also. Thanks, and have an amazing week!
DeleteHi There! I am coming over from The Sunday Community.
ReplyDeleteAnd I wonder what 'time' it will be today? That's the mystery and joy of living in the moment of God. What a lovely scripture to lead into Sunday!
Nice to meet you!
Ceil
Good question, Ceil! Only time will tell. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteThis is such a profound scripture that I've always loved. {And I like the song, too!}
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed week.
XOXO,
Meredith
Meredith, this scripture is so meaningful in that it has a way of explaining so much uncertainty. Have a Happy Sunday!
DeleteEverything in His time, not mine. Thank you for such a beautiful reminder today.
ReplyDeleteYes ma'am - in HIS time! Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteThis is one of my very favorite scriptures. It reminds me of how He didn't create just one layer of each of us - with one emotion, one type of event - He created us and life so multi-faceted that we could live a lifetime and not be bored:)Wishing you time for what your heart needs this week!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Our God is so amazing to be able to do all of that and much more. He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all!
DeleteTime. We are so bound by it, yet in God's economy, it is limitless. He sets the times and seasons for each of His children. Thank you, Lord!
ReplyDeleteAlison, I'm so glad that God is not bound by time. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteNeed to focus, moment-by-moment, at what is in our plate, on our lap, in our eyes, so we can make the right God-choice, put our hearts, souls, and feet in the right direction.
ReplyDeleteThank you much.
Absolutely, Carryjo! Have a wonderful week, and thanks for stopping by!
