Read the opening of his teaching

Let’s turn now in our Bibles to Ecclesiastes chapter three as Solomon the Preacher continues his observations of life from the standpoint of a man who has lived, who has tasted it all, who has found the emptiness of the life under the sun. Now he is reflecting upon the things that he has learned in his observations of life.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: (3:1).

Our times have been appointed by God. There are seasons and times for every purpose under heaven. It is always exciting when you come to one of those special times that God has appointed for work in your life. Now he puts several things into contrast here, some fourteen of them.
