Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11 To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven:
11 He has made everything beautiful in its time.
Ecclesiastes is the 21st Book of the Bible; 12 chapters; 222 verses; 5,584 words.
Each year nearing the end of the year, we often begin to think more about seasons - deer season, rabbit season, turkey season, basketball season, and yes . . . Christmas season.
We often talk about seasons even when we don’t realize it. When we talk about the weather, we are actually talking about seasons. In fact, I think it is during the latter part of the year that the most thought or attention is given to seasons, particularly the seasons of life. As the year begins to close, many of you are already beginning to make plans and even resolutions for a new year. You may be filled with anticipation or perhaps dread at the thought of turning the last page of each year. Some of you long for a new season. Others wish the season they are in would never end.
The four seasons that we live through each year - winter, spring, summer, and fall - will come and go. So will “seasons” of your life, whether good, bad, or indifferent. Just as they come, they will go.
