29.22: Ecclesiastes 3: In Life, We Go Through Seasons on Our Way to Eternity

To everything, turn, turn, turn, there is a season, turn, turn, turn. And a time to every purpose under heaven… Those  are the beginning lyrics to a song from 1965, called, “Turn, Turn,  Turn” by the Byrds. I learned it on the guitar and years later, when I  was in high school in the early 70s, I played and we sang it during  “folk masses” in the Catholic Church in our small town in Upstate New York. Interestingly enough, as I sang  those words, I didn’t know that it was from the Bible. I think, maybe  someone in the band mentioned it to me once. I may have replied, “The  book of what?”, and never thought about it again, until years later,  when during a Bible study, on the Book of Ecclesiastes, I exclaimed,  “Hey, isn’t that the old folk song, “Turn, Turn, Turn?” This passage is also read at many memorial services. It’s also very  appropriate for what’s going on in the world right now. Think about when  this song was written 1965 and what was going on back then. History is  repeating itself. Nevertheless, the song (which, of course, I embedded at the bottom of my blog),  is just the first part of this next chapter in Ecclesiastes. Let’s dig  in… Keep reading in my blog where there are links to dig deeper and watch the special music video at the bottom…. It’s time to GET RIGHT WITH GOD! Are you ready to meet God today? You may just meet God today! If you want to reap all the benefits of salvation including the 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven then… Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit. Pray this prayer humbly and wholeheartedly… “Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. Please forgive me. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and my life to you. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. I surrender my whole life to you and I will follow you for the rest of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me. In Jesus' name, Amen.” Or visit: https://giselleaguiar.com/how-to-invite-jesus-into-your-heart/ This is a daily podcast, published each evening. Subscribe button so can get to know God.
