I just happened to read this last night.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
"There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace"
There are many times when I question God for the things that have happened. Like now, with the war, SARS and everything. Sometimes, I just wonder, what have we done and why have God put us all through these things. But like many others, I tend to forget that there is a time for everything under heaven, and that He has made everything beautiful in its time. God has a bigger plan for all of us, He knows what's best for us. We may not understand what's going on, but I'm sure, in time to come, we'll look back and be able to comprehend His plan for us. God has a purpose for each and every single one of us. All we have to do, I guess, is to trust in the Lord.
