DISCUSSION :
Ecclesiastes
3.11 says “He has made everything beautiful in its time: Also he has put
eternity into mans heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from
the beginning to the end.”
Solomon
is saying that while we may not fully understand the why behind the ebbs and
flows of life or be able to grasp the wholeness of His plan, He has a plan and
our part is to have faith in that plan.
Hebrews
11.1 says “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things
not seen. Many times during these confusing times we bail out on God. Why is
this happening to me, or why did this happen to them, or how could God allow
this…almost to the point of blaming God. This is the opposite of how we should
respond. In those moments we should affirm our faith. Our responses should be,
“God, I don’t understand why, but I trust you. You placed eternity in my heart
and I will stand firm in my faith knowing you will see me through to the end.”
