EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL
Read Ecclesiastes 3 Everything Has ItsTime
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end. (Ecclesiastes 3:11 NKJV)
God is the Creator and everything He created was beautiful and perfect. So is His timing of things to happen. like Joseph, Jacob wanted to go ahead of Gods timing to earn His blessings yet God dwelt with him and changed him and blessed him in due course. Christ came in the fullness of Gods time. The Crucifixion for instance is the eternal plan of God. For what the enemy sought to do of destroying Jesus; God turned it to the redemption of souls.
A mystery we cannot see and at times questioned but He has a way - all things work together for good (Romans 8:24) (not everything is good) every event a providence. He is in control all the time and working all the while. (Like a builder doing it and will see it completed every season is to appropriate response to what He brought by providence cp. Lk. 6:24; Amos 6:6
God has placed a concept in our hearts, an infinity of time and space. Endless before the beginning and the future. We have an inclination to ponder of what's after life that make us want to live in preparation for it; an eternal plan for us and we seek to live for a meaningful and significant life. However, none of us can find out what it is. We are constantly longing for something more than just the temporal.
Event become providence. We see now God's purpose at stages of lifes transitions. We response with humility and contentment as God is greater than what we can understand and control knowing His purpose for good. What comfort it is for us if we can rest assure He would make everything beautiful in His time even for our life.
Prayer: Lord, Your plan for my life is set in eternal past and continue to eternal future. What You have placed in my heart given me the awareness of You are working for me the end of the plan You have in the beginning. Everything will turn out beautiful in Your time. Let me constantly appreciate You by living confidently Your plan executed and response to see the beauty.
