OPPOSITES: A time for everything
Yesterday, while I was having my morning coffee, I just randomly turned and read some pages of my bible, highlighting some verses as I browse. The bible I was reading is rather new, it’s not the pocket bible I got since college, plus it’s a different version from the old one. When my husband Albert went home for vacation this summer, we bought an identical pair of bibles - one for him and one for me. On our way to the airport for his departure, we exchanged sweet dedications written on each bible’s first page.
So I consider my bible very special because I get to see Albert’s sweet note everytime I open it.Anyways, as I flipped through the pages, I chanced upon Ecclesiastes Verse 3, titled, ‘A Time for Everything.’ I already have highlighted the whole verse from a previous reading so I just read it again. It talks about God’s timing for everything - and everything is beautiful in its time. What I had noticed is that the whole verse talks about all the opposite ‘episodes’ in a man’s life: birth and dying, love and hate, war and peace, and so on.
