Ecclesiastes 3:1-11
(Jubilee Bible)
For all things there is a season,
and every will under the heaven has its time determined.
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 seek, 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.
What profit does the one that works have in that in which he labours?
10 I have seen the travail which God has given to the sons of men
that they may be occupied in it.
11 He has made every thing beautiful in his time: even the world he has given over to their will, in such a way that no man can attain to this work that God makes from the beginning to the end.

summary:

This section opens with the famous lines, “For everything, there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” It then elaborates this principle with a series of opposites – birth and death, planting and uprooting, killing and healing, etc. The message is clear: every event and action in human life has its appointed time, following God’s divine order.

The author then explores the futility of human labor and asks what gain comes from toiling. He acknowledges that God has given humans a longing to understand eternity, yet they cannot fathom God’s work from beginning to end. All things, beautiful or otherwise, happen according to God’s eternal plan. The wise advice here is to enjoy one’s life and labor as God’s gifts, as nothing can be added or taken from God’s perfect work.

Divine Timing
Ecclesiastes 3:1 states, To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven. This verse underscores the belief that God has ordained specific times for every event in our lives.

The Cycle of Life
Verses 2-8 list various life events, from birth to death, planting to uprooting, and weeping to laughing. These cycles remind us of the natural ebb and flow of life.

God’s Sovereignty
Verse 11 declares, He has made everything beautiful in its time. This teaches us that God’s timing is perfect, even when we cannot see the full picture.

Eternal Perspective
The latter part of verse 11 mentions that God has set eternity in the human heart, suggesting that our lives have eternal significance beyond the temporal.

hope you have a great day!
thanks for stopping by!!
