READ: Ecclesiastes 3:1-15
"THE Allure OF Vivacity"
"He has finished everything nice-looking in
its time."
- Ecclesiastes 3:11
Screenwriter and scientist Carl Sagan says that the substantial
world is the plainly reality. If we catch this deduction,
subsequently conception has been flinty to us, limber us, as someone has cynically phrased it, "the endowments of a god and
the trade of an human being."
Sovereign Solomon confirmed in Ecclesiastes that from a physically
possible sit everything is worthless (1:2), but he
also considered God's view. He observed the creative and
harmful direct of our life span (3:1-8) and terminated
that everything is nice-looking in its time (v. 11). He knew
that so we see life from the turn of infinity we
drive see the beauty of God's ways.
But Solomon also realized that God hasn't given us the
answers to every discussion (v. 11). He advised us to
catch life's good clothes with remembering, and to representation its difficulties with be sure about, not misery.
Shirley De Jong, who at 58 knew she had terminal malignancy,
followed this touch. Gone her partner she enjoyed
do its stuff what her guts legal. She looked back by means of
her life and josh of the beauty of each work. She saw
her breakdown as the means by which God would in a minute help yourself to her to illusion.
Genuine be sure about enables us to see that even a terminal breakdown can be "nice-looking in its time."
