“万事都有定期，天下万务都有定时：”
传道书 3:1
“There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven-”
Ecclesiastes 3:1
Solomon in the book of Ecclesiastes addresses through a series of opposites how there is a “time for everything” (v. 1): “a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot” (v. 2).
Perhaps King Solomon in these verses despairs at what he sees as a meaningless cycle of life. But he also acknowledges the role of God in each season, that our work is a “gift of God” (v. 13) and that “everything God does will endure forever” (v. 14).
We may remember times in our lives with longing. We know, however, that the Lord promises to be with us in every season of our life (Isa. 41:10).
