There is a time for everything

Ecclesiastes 3 gives us great insight into the happenings of the world, blessings and disasters, all under God's control. Just the first three verses tell us;

1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

We wonder why God allows disaster, even to those who are Christians. We must remember that there are 2 reasons for the Saint, and two reasons for the unsaved. Disaster to the Saint is either to prune him or her, or it is to call that person home through death. That is our ultimate goal isn't it, to be with the Father and our Savor eternally?

Disaster to the unsaved is a call to repentance or judgment. They both point to the Cross. Everything God does in our lives points to the Cross. There is no other name above the name of Jesus to which one can be saved.

God loves us and provided a way for us to escape eternal hell fire and return to a loving relationship with Him. But ONLY through His Son. There are NOT many ways to God, only one, Jesus the Christ.

There is a time for everything. Now is the time to seek Jesus and forgiveness through Him. Remember, God said there is a time to be born, but He also said there is a time to die. What is your state of your eternal soul?

In Christ's love
