Shade Tree Wisdom 3/24/15

          Remember the words of this hymn:

“Because He lives,

I can face tomorrow,

Because he lives,

All fear is gone.

Because I know HE holds the future,

And life is worth living because He lives.”

          In view of that truth life does make sense, for all things happen in life according to God’s time and it is always right on time.

          Ecclesiastes tells us in chapter 5, 1-8:

“For everything there is a season, and

A time for every matter under heaven.

A time to be born, and a time to die.

A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what 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 tear, 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 for war and a time for peace.”

          “He made everything beautiful in His time. (v.8)

          So there is complete sense to whatever happens in our lives.  Take that to heart and your life will be richly blessed in His time.
