March 9, 2018- Friday-#641-Daily Morning Bible Reading and Meditation-Ecclesiastes 3 KJV
***To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: ***
[1] To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
[6] A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
[7] A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
[8] A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
[9] What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
[10] I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
[11] He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
[18] I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
[19] For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
[20] All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
[21] Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
Words to ponder for today:
To Everything There Is A Season, and A Time To Every Purpose Under Heaven
The wise preacher brilliantly detailed some facts of life; which some causes a lot of griefs and disappointment to some, who tried to control the uncontrollable, to preserve matters which naturally fade away, and to hold on to life which are all subject to death.
Some refuses to accept the fact that in this earth, there is no permanent except changes. Everything has its own purpose for an specific time.
And no one, or nothing is able to prevent time from its movements. As the day and night constantly come and go, so is every occurrence that comes to happen and everything that comes to life, have their expected ends.
The LORD GOD Who is the source of all wisdom is too wise that He had created all things for His very own purpose. Though GOD formed man in His image, yet from the clay He had formed him, is the limitations of man’s mind, man’s might and man’s metabolic activities; that He had created all things for and in man’s life according to His time; even the time when He will make things beautiful for Him and through Him . That He had set the world in every human’s heart, so that they could not find out how God works .
[11] He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
With all these issues, all things concluded in one Truth: both man and beasts, which breath will both die and goes back to the dust; however, man’s spirit shall goes upward, beasts shall goes downward.
[20] All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
[21] Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
Humans were given understanding and power to discern, even to learn earthly, as well as heavenly things. Sadly, because of sin, humans’ mind was darkened that some hardly sees and believe the existence and nature of GOD the Creator.
Some have been blinded by so much cares of this world, that they grab every opportunity and chances to live life comfortably according to their own ways, even if it cost their perils.
Apostle Paul has written:
Romans 1:21-25 KJV
[21] Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
[22] Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
[23] And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
[24] Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
[25] Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven. If we will miss the mark to understand our purpose why we are here on earth, the time will come when we will have nothing but regression.
Let all who still have time take heed to think, meditate and ponder. For everyday is another chance to makes life more better through the knowledgeable understanding of GOD, even His Only Begotten SON JESUS CHRIST who is the Only Savior of them who believe Him.
Hebrews 4:7,14 KJV
[7] Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
[14] Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-22 KJV
[1] To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: [2] A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; [3] A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; [4] A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; [5] A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; [6] A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; [7] A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; [8] A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. [9] What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? [10] I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. [11] He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. [12] I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. [13] And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. [14] I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it , that men should fear before him. [15] That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past. [16] And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. [17] I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. [18] I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. [19] For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. [20] All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. [21] Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth? [22] Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him? …
