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?
