Blessings of Reading The Times

For everything there is a season,

    a time for every activity under heaven.

A time to be born and a time to die.

    A time to plant and a time to harvest.

A time to kill and a time to heal.

    A time to tear down and a time to build up.

A time to cry and a time to laugh.

    A time to grieve and a time to dance.

A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones.

    A time to embrace and a time to turn away.

A time to search and a time to quit searching.

    A time to keep and a time to throw away.

A time to tear and a time to mend.

    A time to be quiet and a time to speak.

A time to love and a time to hate.

    A time for war and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Blessings of Knowing This God

The Lord made the earth by his power,

    and he preserves it by his wisdom.

With his own understanding

    he stretched out the heavens.

When he speaks in the thunder,

    the heavens roar with rain.

He causes the clouds to rise over the earth.

    He sends the lightning with the rain

    and releases the wind from his storehouses.


Jeremiah 51:15-17
