“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:” Ecclesiastes 3:1
God said through the preacher two very important things, (a.) to everything there is an appointed time. It does not matter what it is, being born or dying, planting or harvesting, weeping or laughing, whatever it is God has appointed a time for it. So many people never are able to see that everything in God’s creation is under His complete control. Man very mistakenly believes that we control something, anything, as long as can believe we do. But God says different, God says everything is under His control. God said in Romans 9:20 “Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?” No one has a right to question God for what He has done. God has appointed everything and nothing of no one has a right to think other wise. On the second thought, (b.) there is a purpose to it. This is also hard to understand for most of mankind, and that is the Sovereign God of creation has also predetermined a means to everything in creation. We do not live by will or chance, there is no such a thing as luck. God said in Acts 17:28 “For in him we live, and move, and have our being…” in other words everything in life is as God has predetermined it to be. Our destiny is not in our hands. What we become in life is not in our hands. Whatever you are, whatever you become in life God controls it and it is by Gods will. God has built some vessels unto honor and some unto dishonor. Romans 9:21 “Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?” Therefore, when a vessel of dishonor says “God made me this way or created me this way” this could be a bad thing for you. We never know the will of God until He manifest it to us, therefore we all must just move on with life in what ever matter God chooses it for us. Therefore let us all pray to God everyday that God will bless us, because whatever happens today and everyday is appointed of God and is to Gods benefit. I know this is hard for some people to understand but it is what God has made it. Therefore we as Christians or Pastors or Ministers do not always have the answer to everything that happens because we only know what God has revealed. God has an eternal plan, therefore His will and plan will be carried out without failure. And if God depended on man’s choices Gods plan would fail, and that cannot happen.
