Ecclesiastes 3

My life is too often rules by time. But that is part of our lot in this life. We are given a very precious measure of time and part of our developing faith is to divide it in a way that pleases God. The time of our birth and death sets the limits of our life. Yet this knowledge is a frustration because though we know the first well and celebrate it annually the second is a complete mystery. And that mystery is complete. Only God can comprehend our deaths and I believe he will prepare us for that time. If we allow him he will lead us to and then through the throws of death. And then, by his grace, we Christians will fully understand the greatness of the God whom we serve.
The time for me to read this chapter was about 4 minutes.
