God's Timing | Ecclesiastes 3:1-22

One of the hardest things to understand about God is His timing. So many of our questions come from a desire to know why God does what He does when He does it. His timing can feel messy, uncertain, and confusing. But Ecclesiastes reminds us that God’s timing is perfect. Ecclesiastes 3 is the preeminent chapter in all the Bible about God’s timing. It gives us a glimpse into how His timing works and what we can know about it. Many years after this chapter was written, God showed His love for us by entering into the messiness of time in the person of Jesus Christ. “When the right time came, God sent His Son.” (Galatians 4:4)Take-Home Message: God is the author of time.God’s timing is beautiful (1-11a). God’s timing is mysterious (11b-13). God’s timing is permanent (14-15). God’s timing is just (16-22).
