For Everything...

"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven."
- Ecclesiastes 3:1

This verse was is on a bookmark that I have been using for a while. Everytime that I would open up the book I would see this verse. But it didn't hit me until last night how extraordinary this verse actually is! I mean, think about it.

There is a season for everything, everything! Do you know how large of a catagory everything it! It's huge! It has everything in it! God has ordained a time in our life for every single thing that comes upon us. That means that nothing happens to us or for us without His knowing it. He was put us on the earth for such a time as this.

I would like to talk a little bit about Esther. You know the story right? She was just a young Jew living her simple life with her uncle when one day she gets taken to the palace as a candidate  to be the next queen! Can you even imagine?!?! One day your living your normal life, and the next you be the next queen of the biggest nation in the world! One word, terrifying!

But Esther accepted it with grace. And we all know the end of the story, she does become the next queen and Persia had never been better. But their are always twists to the perfect ending. Their was a plot, a plot to kill the king and to kill all of the Jews, God's chosen people! When Esther's uncle Mordecai heard this news he immediately sent someone to go and warn Esther because she had the potential to save them! When Esther starts to voice all of the negative thoughts and feeling that run through her had her uncle tells her:

"If you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance and relief for the Jews will arise from some other place, but you and your relatives will die. Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?” - Esther 4:14

For such a time as this. God knows what is happening because He was fit it into your life someway or another. No matter what your going through God knows, and He knows the outcome of it all too. He is omnipotent and omnitiont! He knows everything, your past, present, and your future. Before you parents ever thought about you He had already written a whole book about you! How amazing it that! When we get to heaven God is going to read us our book! The book that He was written about us.

For everything...for everything there is a season. For every matter under heaven there is a time.
I don't know what your going through, but God does. Every matter that you are going through God already knows how you are going to prevail. All that you have to do is ask Him, trust Him, and let Him do the rest.
