Verse from Ecclesiastes

“他使万事各按其时，成为美好；他又把永恒的意识放在人的心里；虽然这样，人还是不能察觉　神自始至终的作为。”

传道书 3:11 

“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.”

Ecclesiastes 3:11 

Solomon, Israel’s third king, wrote that God appoints “a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens” (Ecclesiastes 3:1). We humans have little control over the events of our lives—whether we view those events as favorable or not. But God, in His mighty power, makes “everything beautiful in its time” (v. 11).

In seasons of heartache, we can trust God to bring something good from them in time. Our comforts and joys may come and go, but God’s works “will endure forever” (v. 14). We may not relish every season—some are quite painful—yet He can bring beauty to them all. 

Father, 

You have permitted this season in my life. 

Help me to be content in the midst of it, and to recognize Your power and might are at work.
