Seasons

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

We understand that there are seasons and that there is a time to every purpose.

Promise of Seasons

Seasons are predictable
Jesus comforted his disciples many times before his death, burial, resurrection, and ascension to be comforted, to remember his words. John 13:19, 14:29

Season describes the time it takes to accomplish a purpose
- Then Solomon tells you there are 28 seasons and objectives that are accomplished in a fallen world.
- Time to be born – 9 months after conception, time to die, when the spirit returns to God and the soul is separated from the body, time to….
After the purpose is accomplished, it will prove what the things was
- Proof is made from season to season
- Wheat and tares – things are revealed for what they are. Sometimes things look like one thing at an early age, but grow up to be completely different. The thing that proves them is time.
- Paul told Timothy to let the younger men be proved first. What’s that? That’s time and seasons doing their work on a young man to reveal strengths and weaknesses.
- Purging follows proof
Seasons determine the tools you use. If you went out and disked during harvest you might ruin more crops than you’d harvest.
Seasons determine your plans and activities.
