A Time for Everything
Ecclesiastes
3To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
We must be thankful in all things..............good and bad.
Corrie and Betsy Ten Boom were two females taken into a Jewish Holocaust Camp.
They witnessed horrible abuse, torture, starvation, degradation, deprivation,
demoralization and death. They thought they were in hell.
Corrie and Betsy prayed regularly...........Betsy in one of her prayers said, and thank you Father for the fleas.
Betsy said......how can you thank God for these fleas? They torment us, we itch and bleed?
Betsy said, we are to be thankful in all things.........
Sometime later it was discovered the females in the other barracks were regularly being violently abused physically and sexually.... by the guards.
It was discovered that women in the particular barracks Corrie and Betsy were in... was flea infested............so the guards would not enter and the females were left unharmed.
Lets all remember to thank Jesus for everything...........good and bad.
A negative ................can be a blessing in disguise.
God is always at work.
God Bless
