The end of one thing…the
beginning of another
Ecclesiastes And Proverbs~the
end of a matter
Throughout
the books of Ecclesiastes and Proverbs the Holy Spirit reveals wisdom through Solomon.
Ecclesiastes teaches repeatedly that there is a time for everything. There is a time for the passion that burns
within a man to be expressed, and that time is in the covenantal bond of
marriage. There is a time to morn after a loss or death. There is a time to
rejoice. There is a time to give up, but there are also times in which God
calls us to start something. And at other times, God’s call is to move on to something
else without completing the previous agenda. God has a divine purpose for
seasons of life! The Hand of Divine Providence does rest on the affairs of the
righteous! There is a time for war, a time for feasting, a time for peace, a
time for enjoyment etc…
Nothing is wrong with courtship in and of
itself; but problems arise when it is not the right season, the right timing in
a man and woman’s lives. Commit the seasons of your life that you desire to
God, because He is able to guide you to that season in the best possible way,
totally prepared for what He is going to do.
And if
this is a hard season in your life, I encourage you that God will bring you
through this season some day, if not on this earth then in Eternity. Joyful
seasons end just like the valleys of the shadow of death will end. The point is
that throughout it all, regardless of the circumstances: are you placing your
faith in God and clinging to God?
Be still, and listen to His voice, because He
often speaks when we are silent before Him. As a testimony to that statement, I
can say that God has spoken to me more when I am still, reading His Word, or in
prayer than in the race of the day.
