Ecclesiastes 3:1 - Understanding May Take Time and Trust.

Ecclesiastes 3:1: Understanding May Take Time and Trust.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV) To every thing there is a season, and a 
time to every purpose under the heaven: 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   I remember the time when my friend Charlie, who has cerebral 
palsy, asked me a tough question. Looking down at his twisted arms and 
legs in his wheelchair, he said, "What possible purpose could there 
be in my suffering?" I told Charlie his question couldn't be 
answered in a single conversation - or even in a book. That's because 
GOD'S ANSWERS AND PURPOSES HAVE TO BE LIVED OUT IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND 
THEM. AND THAT TAKES TIME AND TRUST. 
   Today's Scripture tells us there is a time for everything - 
and that includes understanding. If you have questions about 
suffering, or about why things have happened as they have, remember these 
two words: time and trust. Keep trusting in God, friend. Believe His 
promises. Act on His Word. Live out your faith. And in time, or perhaps 
beyond time, you will understand the heart of God in every one of your 
hardships. 
   Lord, it's difficult for anxious minds and heavy hearts to 
understand Your ways or discern Your purposes. I ask You to help me rest in 
Your wisdom and in Your goodness - and trust You in those events that 
make no earthly sense to me. [A Spectacle of Glory by Joni Eareckson 
Tada and Larry Libby]
