3 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven (Ecclesiastes 3:1).
For some reason I am very comforted when I read this verse. The verse is a reminder that we are not in control. It is God that is in control. God controls the both the purpose and timing of things. This really should relieve a lot of worry from our lives. We often worry about things we cannot control. God knows what is in store for us and he has ordered life such that everything has its’ place and purpose. While it is terribly difficult for us to understand God’s purposes and timing, scripture is clear that we are to realize that God is sovereign.
