Happy New Year and todays Bible Reading from Ecclesiastes 3:1-15

 Happy New Year 2022 and may this year see COVID disappear from our lives once again as the spring comes to us. 

The Bible Reading for today is one of my Guiding Lights that God has provided to us and has been given a title "Everything Has Its Time" and is a special psalm by David.

Everything Has Its Time

Everything on earth
has its own time
   and its own season.
There is a time
for birth and death,
   planting and reaping,
for killing and healing,
   destroying and building,
for crying and laughing,
   weeping and dancing,
for throwing stones
and gathering stones,
   embracing and parting.
There is a time
for finding and losing,
   keeping and giving,
for tearing and sewing,
   listening and speaking.
There is also a time
for love and hate,
   for war and peace.

What God Has Given Us To Do

What do we gain by all of our hard work? I have seen what difficult things God demands of us. God makes everything happen at the right time. Yet none of us can ever fully understand all he has done, and he puts questions in our minds about the past and the future. I know the best thing we can do is to always enjoy life, because God’s gift to us is the happiness we get from our food and drink and from the work we do. Everything God has done will last forever; nothing he does can ever be changed. God has done all this, so that we will worship him.

Everything that happens
   has happened before,
and all that will be
   has already been—
God does everything
   over and over again.
