Over the years I have come to understand the mystery behind these powerful verses of the Bible. To me, they are the keys to living happily always and being thankful at all times regardless of your present or rather momentary circumstances. Because they are nothing but phases that MUST pass away soon.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
1.To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:
A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck 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; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw 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 of war, And a time of peace.
Ecclesiastes 9:10-11
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going.
I returned and saw under the sun that— The race is not to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favor to men of skill; But time and chance happen to them all.
Therefore, why killing yourself, why fighting yourself, why blaspheming against your God, why going into crime, why...why and why..... Patience is a great virtue, embrace it and you will surely enjoy its fruits. For your season, time and chance is near. You could be the next in line.
Enjoy Your Blessed Day.
