It will be beautiful in His time
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens. (Ecclesiastes 3:1 NIV)
This is a big life lesson. There is a time for everything. There are seasons. Regardless of what season of life you are currently living through, you can probably expect a change at some point, because, as we know, seasons come and go.
One of the most beautiful promises in the Bible is given in this same chapter: “He has made everything beautiful in its time.” Whether you’re in a good or a difficult season, you can be sure that it’s all part of it becoming beautiful within God’s time. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)
I’ve learned that God is present in both times of sowing and times of reaping. And something else I’ve come to realize is that both seasons are repeating.
In that way, we should all make peace with the season in our lives. There is a time to laugh, and a time to cry, a time to sow, a time to reap, a time to give, and a time to receive. When the sad times come, sometimes it’s hard to remember that there’s usually a lot of happiness. When things disappoint, it’s easy to forget about all the things that have worked out wonderfully.
Your life is no exception to the high and low seasons. And neither is it an exception to the promise that it will be beautiful in His time. —Mara Hodler [1]
The seasons change and you change, but the Lord abides evermore the same, and the streams of His love are as deep, as broad and as full as ever. —Charles Spurgeon
