‏ Ecclesiastes 3:1

Mutability of Human Affairs

This section teaches us that life is always changing. There are many different events and seasons in our lives, and they often come and go without warning. Everything that happens is part of God’s plan, and we cannot control or change the times He has set for us. Because of this, we should not be too proud or too worried about our situation. Instead, we should trust God, enjoy the good He gives, and be ready for whatever comes next. Life on earth is full of ups and downs, but God is in control of them all.

v. 1: Solomon begins by saying, To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven . This means that every event in life, whether good or bad, has its own proper time. Things that seem opposite—like joy and sorrow, gain and loss—will each have their turn. Even things that seem random to us are actually set by God’s wisdom and timing.
