Seasons Of Ups And Downs
September 19, 2011

Most of us would agree that life has its ups and downs. Wise King Solomon believed this and reflected on our responses to fluctuating circumstances. In Ecclesiastes, he wrote: “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: . . . a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance” (3:1-4).

Solomon’s father, David, was called “a man after [God’s] own heart” (1 Sam. 13:14; Acts 13:22). Yet David’s life illustrates how life is filled with seasons of ups and downs. David wept over his and Bathsheba’s first child who was fatally ill (2 Sam. 12:22). Yet he also wrote songs of praise and joyous laughter (Ps. 126:1-3). With the death of his rebellious son Absalom, David experienced a time of deep mourning (2 Sam. 18:33). And when the ark was brought to Jerusalem, David, in spiritual ecstasy, danced before the Lord (2 Sam. 6:12-15).

We do a disservice to ourselves and others when we portray the Christian life as peaceful and happy all the time. Instead, the Bible portrays the believer’s life as consisting of seasons of ups and downs. In what season are you? Whether a time of joy or sadness, each season should motivate us to seek the Lord and trust Him.

Dear Lord, help us to turn to You not only in sadness
but also in joy. We know You give us both good times
and bad to draw us to You and help us grow.
May we learn to trust You in all seasons of life. Amen.

Every season needs faith to get us through it.

Read: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance. —Ecclesiastes 3:4
Bible in a year:
Ecclesiastes 1-3; 2 Corinthians 11:16-33

Sorry didn’t get to visit yesterday with my FRiends. It was one of those pain off the chart days.

Had another doctor turn my Medicare down, just a simple GYN check up, as I had not had one in some time..that makes 5 in the past 6 months saying they do not take Medicare or will not take new patients.

Good thing I know the Man who can

Planning Stage

Just what could she be thinking, with so bemused a gaze?
Is she contempating something in the past, or is it future days?
She has her choice of suitors, and clearly has a plan.
Perhaps she hasn't figured out which one will be her man.

She's going to make him work for it, before she tries to please,
Whoever wants to win her hand should practice on his knees.
She'll make a very loving wife, there clearly is no doubt,
And by the time of choosing she will have it all worked out.

She'll make him want to win the world, and bring it home to her,
And everything she wants to have, he's certain to prefer.
They'll have the happiest marriage, he's destined to agree,
Because she'll clearly make her stand, before he bends his knee.

King James Version (KJV)

James 4:1-4; KJV

“1.From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

2.Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

3.Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

4.Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.”
