To Everything There Is A Season (Ecclesiastes 3 : 1-11)

There is a time for everything,

and a season for every activity under heaven: 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

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.

What does the worker gain from his toil?

I have seen the burden God has laid on men,

He has made everything beautiful in its time,

He has also set eternity in the hearts of men:

yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
