God’s Prerogative

We always grumble for the situations and the events we go through. We question ‘why doesn’t this happen to me?’ ‘Why not me?’ ‘Why now?’ etc., but a wise king says that the time and the events happen, all are God’s prerogative. We cannot grumble or question Him for all these. Let’s see what he says, in details:

“There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven- A time to give birth, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to uproot what is planted. A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to tear down, and a time to build up. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn and a time to dance. A time to throw stones, and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, and a time to shun embracing. A time to search, and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep and a time to throw away. A time to tear apart, and a time to sew together; 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. What profit is there to the worker from that in, which he toils? I have seen the task, which God has given the sons of men with which to occupy themselves. He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work, which God has done from the beginning even to the end. I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good in one’s lifetime; moreover, that every man who eats and drinks sees good in all his labor- it is the gift of God. I know that every thing God does will remain forever; there is nothing to add to it and there is nothing to take from it, for God has so worked that men should fear Him”(Eccl. 3:1-14).

God has given us an eternal perspective so that we can look beyond our normal routine of life. Though we cannot understand the whole of the God’s plan but there is nothing better for us to do than what is good, to enjoy the gifts of God in life and to wait for His own time for everything. So, friends! Let us be humble before God’s divine purposes in and through our lives according to His appointed time.
