A Time For Everything 凡事有定時 (Eccl 3:1-11)

[0:00] Thank you, worship team for just those wonderful worship songs about time.

[0:22] For those of you who I haven't met yet, my name is William. I'm one of the pastors here. Maybe this is a good time to wish you a happy new year.

[0:36] I wish you a happy new year. Thank you for joining us today in the lead up to the new year, or thank you if you're joining us on live stream as well.無論在這裡敬拜,或者在家裡透過網上一起敬拜,歡迎大家.

[0:52] And I wonder how you are planning to celebrate this coming new year. This is a long-term year, we're going to celebrate this coming new year. Maybe some of you have a banquet with the relatives' plan.

[1:03] Maybe some of you wish you could be overseas right now. Or if you're in this time, I'm still in the home, or in other places, it's not good.

[1:14] So many of our plans have changed, haven't they? Even in this last week. Just as we thought things would get better with COVID, now we are under red light instead of red packets.

[1:30] We are thinking now of red light. We are thinking of red light. We thought it was a long-term year. We thought it was a long-term year. We thought it was a long-term year, but it was a long-term year. And I don't know what struggles you're going through this week.

[1:42] Maybe you're worrying about your children, whether they should go to school or uni. I don't know if you're worried about your children, whether they should go to school or uni.

[1:53] Maybe you are stressed about what happens if someone here catches COVID here in church. Or if we're in the same way, we're in the same way, then we're in the same way.

[2:05] And perhaps you've been wondering, oh, what bad timing. Or maybe you just think, when will all this time end? And it turns out that time is also on the mind of the teacher in one of the books of the Bible.

[2:23] In the Bible, in the Bible, we often often have a time. So as we begin a new year as a PCPC, I thought it would be timely to turn to the book of Ecclesiastes, this part of God's Word.

[2:36] So as we begin a new year as a PCPC, I thought it would be timely to turn to the book of Ecclesiastes, this part of God's Word. So at the beginning of the book of Ecclesiastes, we also open this全道書, this book. Let's see how the time is going to look at the book of Ecclesiastes. So turn, if you can, with us to the book of Ecclesiastes in your Bible.

[2:51] The 3rd of the book of Ecclesiastes, this part of the book of Ecclesiastes, this part of the book of Ecclesiastes. And I'll give you a moment to bring it up on your phones or at home. And perhaps if you are ready, we could perhaps read it together, maybe the first 11 verses of chapter 3.

[3:04] If you are on your phone or at home, you can read the book of Ecclesiastes. Then we'll open the book of Ecclesiastes, this part of the book of Ecclesiastes. Then we'll use the English language to read it together.

[3:18] Okay, let's read it together. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. Let's read it together. Sing有事,死有事,災重有事,不出所災重的也有事殺戮有事,醫治有事,拆位有事,建造有事哭有事,笑有事,哀動有事,跳舞有事拋截石頭有事,堆墜石頭有事,懷抱有事,不懷抱有事尋找有事,失落有事,保守有事,捨棄有事撕裂有事,逢保有事,靜默有事,言語有事喜愛有事,恨惡有事,爭戰有事,和好有事這樣看來做事的人在他牢陸上有什麼億處呢?

[4:14] 我叫神叫世人勞苦,使他們在其中受經驗神造萬物,各安其時,成為美好又將永生安置在世人心裡然而神從此至終的作為,人不能參透這是神的活動的言語這是上帝永恆的話語我們一起同心祈禱神多謝祢自己的話語當我們想在新一年的開始 please remind us again that there is a time for everything神提醒我們各樣都有定時 and help us to see, even in this book, the wisdom of Jesus for us我們看一下,開我們的眼睛去看到就算在傳道書裡面,我們看到耶穌基督的智慧 and we pray these things in Christ's name, Amen我們奉主耶穌基督的名靠, Amen

[5:17] Firstly, it might help if I mention briefly where we are in the Bible或者大家可以了解一下傳道書在哪裡呢? So the book of Ecclesiastes, this teaching that we call Ecclesiastes it comes straight after two books one is called the Psalms and one is called the Proverbs 這些傳道書,大家如果知道,打開到就是在詩篇和針言後面的 And collectively, these three books are often called the wisdom books 那這三本書是一個叫做智慧文學 And I think God gave us all three of these books because wisdom comes in lots of different ways, doesn't it?

[5:58] 因為這三本都是很不同的書 但是裡面傳遞在人生當中有很多不同智慧 For example, the way your grandmother might share wisdom to you might be different to your teacher 我們人生當中都可以領受很多不同智慧 譬如我婆婆、祖母教導我的 和我的老師或者我的朋友和我說的 是可以很不同的 你的同學和你的老闆和你說的 這些智慧可以都很不同 所以在聖經裡面都記載有不同類型的智慧文學 And for example, the book of Psalms It invites us to sing along with the blessed person who is walking a righteous path Through ups and downs, joys and sorrows So that's wisdom through the Psalms 所以詩篇經常教導我們要唱一下,要歌頌一下 在人生當中起起跌跌的裡面 我們都要捉住上帝的英雄去,我們要歌頌上帝

[6:59] But then the book of Proverbs is a bit different But it still teaches us wisdom instead It teaches us how life normally works in God's world And how to live in the fear of the Lord 智慧的針言就是教導我們人生一些應該要做的事 我們經歸神,我們就做神要我們的事 在人生當中一直來前進 We could imagine the book of Psalms like headphones we listen to 先好像我們聽耳筒一樣,聽耳機一樣,聽這些音樂 Maybe the book of Proverbs are like little lollies, like those white rabbit lollies You suck on it and chew on it 或者針綿就好像一些糖,我們一邊吃一邊損的時候 咬一下那些滋味是怎樣的 But Ecclesiastes is kind of like a book that is like a sand castle being washed away by the sea 傳道書就好像虛空,很虛幻 人生好像在沙灘堆一些沙堡的時候,就被海水沖走了

[8:08] I think Ecclesiastes is God's wisdom for us when life is frustrating or confusing 傳道書,當我們在人生當中面對有很多不開心、沮喪的時候 就在我們生命裡邊有很大的迴響 Maybe when time seems to just be an endless loop, you're not sure what's going on 人生當中好像不斷地走斷轉轉,好像沒有什麼意義 當我們就傳道書 人生當中好像有很多苦,而不太多賺 生命很多時候有很多失落,沒有什麼賺取到的 我們讀傳道書就有這個響應了 It's obvious from actually the preacher's very first words Let me read to you from the very beginning of Ecclesiastes 當他說是意義無,意義無,意義無, utterly meaningless, everything is meaningless That's how he speaks at the very beginning of his book 傳道書開始已經說了 在第一章第二節的傳道者說 虛空的虛空,虛空的虛空,凡事都是虛空 當他繼續訓練到這篇文,直到第三節的傳道者 都一直在埋怨 看他有多少的沮喪

[9:39] Ecclesiastes 2 verse 8, he says I amassed silver and gold for myself All the treasures of kings and provinces 在第二章第八節就說 我又為自己來積聚金銀和均和的財報 和各省的財報 And in two verses later he says I denied myself nothing my eyes desired I refuse my heart, no pleasure 第二章第十節 凡我眼所求的,我沒有留下不給他的 我心所樂的,我沒有禁止不享受的 Wealth, happiness, success That sounds like every Asian family's dream, doesn't it?

[10:18] 即是開心啦,成功啦 似乎這些都是我們亞洲人、中國人都期望的 And yet it is not 恭喜發財 When the preacher looks carefully, he actually says Verse 11, everything was meaningless A chasing after the wind Nothing was gained under the sun 新年我們經常都說 一般人說恭喜發財 但其實對他來說全無意義 And if this past year has felt a little bit like this for you Then you are not alone The Bible says life sometimes is frustrating 如果在過去一年,或者大家都感受到很多無奈的裡面 我想告訴大家,你不是唯一一個 因為聖經一早已經告訴我們 So what will help us, PCBC, get through these uncertain times?

[11:12] 東陣,鄧姊姊妹,在這些的 不知道未來,不肯定的裡面 我們怎樣去走呢? How will we make the most of our time?

[11:24] How will we spend our time wisely this new year? 今年的裡面,我們怎樣去好好用我們的時間 怎樣去使用我們的時間,以至於我們得著智慧呢?

[11:36] 這些是一些的問題,聖經教授問 而我想我們也會問過 這些傳導者都一直在問這些問題 我相信這些都是我們問的問題 And so in our passage in chapter 3 I want to share from the teacher 4 timely reflections he has to help us 這裡也想在第三章講到這個傳導者 有幾樣東西我們可以一齊來來思想的 So I have four points to what I want to share today 有四樣東西跟大家分享 And firstly, I want to share that from verses 1 to 8 That poem that we heard, the teacher reminds us that in God's world Time is not only to be measured, but to be appreciated 在一節八節告訴我們 在神創造的時間裏面 時間不是只要我們要管理的 是我們要去珍惜,去欣賞的 And the next slide, this is one of the earliest copies of Ecclesiastes chapter 3

[12:37] I know it's hard to read, but don't worry, you don't need to read it to notice something In this earliest copy of Ecclesiastes chapter 3 這是最早期其中一個找到的文獻 這是傳導書原來的文獻 Can you see actually how the word time, which is on the screen on your left, is marked off?

[13:02] 這個是在我們的左邊 這個大家可以看到的,這個就是時間 Compared to all the stuff that's been written before, here from chapter 3, the preacher stops complaining And I think appreciates the beauty of time 作者專門這樣寫,就是安靜下來,去欣賞,去珍惜時間 And when we look at it in Chinese, notice how the poem, this poem that we read, it listed a whole range of contrast, right?

[13:36] 你發覺這首詩他寫的時候,你發覺有很多的對比 生、死、笑、哭、等等 過去一年我想大家都已經經歷了,很多的事情很不尋常 但在這個詩詞, the teacher pauses and thinks, well, things still happened 雖然這些事情都不斷地發生,但是時間仍然在 有栽種的,但是也有枯毀的,有收割的 有建造的時候,有拆毀的時候,有哭的時候,有笑的時候 剛才我們第三首的詩歌,太陽升起,太陽降下 我相信這個作者告訴我們,我們有兩個方法,去看時間 你看,你和我,我們可以走路的時候 剛才我們第三首詩歌,太陽升起,太陽降下 我相信這個作者告訴我們,我們有兩個方法,去看時間 你和我可以在這些時間,不斷地走來走去,嘗試來控制或者管理我們的時間 或者我們可以安靜一下,然後我們來欣賞神給我們的每一個時刻 我們可以在我們的電話中的時間,提醒我們 我們可以在我們的電話中的時間,提醒我們 你要做這個,做這個,做這個 或我們可以以一個喜樂的心,一個平靜的心,來欣賞 多謝上帝在我們生命當中的這些時機 早上我聽到有人分享,他們在這幾個月的哭了很多 我在這個禮拜前幾天和有人坐下來,來聊天 他說,我從來在過去一個星期沒有哭過那麼多 但在另一個場合,我跟另一個人聊天,他就很開心 如果你在那些人聊天的時候,你會怎樣呢?

[16:30] 如果你在那些人聊天的時候,你會怎樣呢? 你在那些人聊天的時候,你不會跟他們說 你在那些人聊天的時候,你就不會跟他們說 好,夠了,夠了,時間夠了,放下它,繼續要生活的嘛 因為在那些人聊天的時候,有一個季節是一個時期 因為在那些人聊天的時候,有一個時期 聖經告訴我們,凡事都有定時 在神所創造的天下蠻舞都有定時 我們要珍惜上帝給我們的 而且在聖書12章15節,保羅也這樣說 在聖書12章15節,保羅也這樣說 願與喜樂的人同樂 願與喜樂的人同樂 願哀哭的人同樂 願哀哭的人同樂 願哀哭的人同樂 如果我們想做這個好 時常我們需要停止看時間 為何要去測試或控制 所以可能我們都要安靜我們自己 不單在時間,我們只管理它 我們都要安靜,來欣賞,來品嘗上帝給我們的時間 如果我們作為神的家裡 我們都真的應該去享受神給我們一起的時間 當我們一相聚的時候,我們不只是來做一些事情 我們要欣賞上帝給我們在主裡的相交這些時機 讓我們在主裡的相交這些時機 如果我們就去世上帝給我們 因為我會不會有很多事情 我知道是很困難的 我覺得很困難的 我在主持日上帝給我們 我想說明天的日期 早上帝給我 早上帝給我 早上帝給我 早上帝給我 早上帝給我 早上帝給我 早上帝給我 早上帝給我 我覺得很困難的 我想問你會這樣 當時可以讓我感到 我會這樣 當時可以 我會這樣 當時可以 當時可以 我們都會的 六個鬧鐘起床 六點鐘起床 七點鐘要出門口 八點要做這些事情 十點鐘分開教會 然後約好 一路一路 很多排著的這些時間 但神給我們今天教導我們要有智慧 今年我們學不單止去追這些時間 趕這些時間 讓我們安靜在神的面前 去把握這些時機 享受上帝給我們 享受上帝給我們 節奏的環節 感受每一刻 停止趕緊 時間是一禮物 而不是一資源 能否嘗試品嘗試一下 去品嘗一下 去奪得上帝在這些時間裡 給我們的很多祝福 可能會影響我們 使用孩子的時間 或者這樣就會影響我們 應該如何跟我們的家人相處 或是我們在工作的態度 或是我們面對這些的挑戰 面對這些疫情給我們的很多挑戰

[19:41] This Happy New Year Let's not just measure time in Jesus Let's appreciate time in Jesus 新年裡 我們不單止在計這些時間 不過是享受上帝給我們的 當他講完這些 傳道者就來問一些問題 當他講完這些 傳道者就來問一些問題 當你所說的教師說 當他講的事情 從他的苦力之中 從他的苦力之中 也很負擔 可能你跟教師說 講完什麼什麼有事 什麼什麼有事的時候 他就問了 做事的人 既然有定時 做事的人 在牢牢上面 有什麼益處 Are you for real preacher?

[20:32] How can I appreciate time? Have you seen my busy life? 是啊 我知道各人有定時 但我真的很忙 那怎麼辦? 我如何面對這些事情 But keep reading Let's have a look at verse 11 我們繼續讀 我讀11節 And here he says this He has made everything beautiful in its time He has also set eternity in the heart of people Yet they cannot fathom what God has done From beginning to end That's verse 11 十一節真是一個很好的一節的經文 一起讀不如好嗎?

[21:08] 神造萬物 國安其時成為美好 又將永生安置在世人心裡 然而神從此至終的作為 人不能參透 This is a profound observation 一個是很奇妙的 一個很深入的觀察 因為我覺得這會幫助我們 能夠我們解釋這段的整個部分 而我們就要明白這一個 我們就要明白這一個 整個第三章他所說的什麼 So I want us to notice the three other 廣告的想法 第二件事我想要提出 第二件事我想要提出 祂在今晚我們經文的第二點 第二點就是提醒我們 神在祂的掌管裡 在祂的裡面是很好的 每一個時間都是好的 因為我們在過去一年 我們的國家都面對很多的分歧 很多的傷害 甚至今週有了抗議 還有空間廁所 人們都會再逃脫 人們都會再逃脫 人們都會再逃脫 就算在這個星期 仍然有很多人在示威 仍然學到都學不到 這些超市全部都空氣 為何會這樣呢 但是在這些時間裡 我們又看到有很多的愛心的行動 有很多慷慨的施語 我們又知道 又經歷到有很多的人 願意放下自己去服侍其他人 我們都要像這個傳道者 我們要看得明白 就算在很多的好像不是很好的事情裡 其實神在當中 讓這些東西是成為美好的 或者你未必認同 或者你未必認同 或者你未必認同 傳道者是不是真的樣樣這麼美好 我不覺得 或者我們當中 喂 這些Omicron這麼厲害 會不會下一個到我呢 或者有些人在想 十月申請Visa 三月申請都沒有 那怎麼辦呢 或者我們擔心我們的小朋友 我們的教會 或者我因為 就在教會裡受了傷害 於是我就藏了自己了 但是在這個時候 原上帝跟我們說話 讓我們的心靈裡 再一次去回想 何必有的地方 何必有的地方 何必有的地方 何必有的地方 何必有的地方 何必有的地方 讓我們的心靈裡 再一次去回想 在這一切裡 神是怎樣 讓這些東西 成為美好呢 何必有的地方 何必有的地方 何必有的地方 何必有的地方 最近我們在沙灘浸禮 是不是 有兩位的弟兄 都分享他們自己的見證

[24:39] For example Song said it this way, Covid allowed me time to pause and conclude there was more to life than stuff, jobs or next step in life.

[24:50] He said he would like to trust the Lord in the past two years, in this situation, to allow him to be safe and safe to think of the life of God.

[25:01] He saw how God made everything beautiful in time. So, when you see that the Lord in the past two years, it can be a beautiful thing.

[25:29] Another brother, Billy, we are already familiar with. He said, in the past two years, I found that in the past two years, he was allowing me to experience the love of Jesus.

[25:42] So, he said, we love him because of God. Let's remind each other, amidst the struggles of life this year, God does bring beauty from our brokenness in his time.

[25:54] Even in our difficult times, we can recognize that God can use these times to turn into the beauty of God.

[26:05] The third point I want to see from the preacher is this, God has set eternity in our hearts. God has set eternity in our hearts.

[26:23] We see this in verse 11 of what we just read. Just in the second half. In the first half, we have seen this in verse 11 of what we just read. And when you read that, this is a very powerful phrase, isn't it?

[26:35] And I think what this verse is doing, what teachers are saying is that He's actually kind of, He's alluding to a much earlier time, all the way back to the book of Genesis, to our first parents in chapter 3.

[26:48] In chapter 3, 3, verse 11 says, 上帝將永生安置在人的心裡。 其實這個傳道者好像暗示在一個更早更早的時候, 就在創世紀第三章, 神章在這個喻丁園裡。 Yeah, so I want to just notice in this little phrase that echoes back to the Garden of Eden.

[27:13] For example, in this verse, it says there's eternity set on our hearts. While our first parents, they had a desire to know everything and yearn for eternity, didn't they?

[27:24] 上帝將永恆安置在我們心裡。 其實這個… 神叫世人勞虎的原文, 他們就是阿當。 在當中受驚練的時候, 其實要他們得著永生的盼望。 其實要他們得著永生的盼望。 And what we see in the verse before 11, in verse 10, it says there, that there's a burden, a task that God has laid on the human race.

[27:58] In our translations, it says what it says, but in the original language, this phrase is literally, not the human race, but the children of Adam.

[28:09] 神叫世人, 這個世人就是阿當的後裔。 其實阿當在創世紀第三章, 他們為什麼要吃了這個神, 叫他不要吃的呢? 其實他就很想得到這個永生, 得到這個永恆。 結果就犯了罪了。 但是神在這個時候, 透過這些時候, 讓他們受驚練的時候, 讓他們都可以得著神應的永恆。 讓他們的永恆。 其實阿當在創世紀第三章, 他們為什麼要吃了這個神, 叫他不要吃的呢?

[28:28] 其實他就很想得到這個永生, 得到這個永恆。 結果就犯了罪了。 但是神在這個時候, 透過這些時候, 讓他們受驚練的時候, 讓他們都可以得著神應的永恆。 讓他們的永恆。 這是一個無限的問題, 但現在是我們的問題也。 這是不單單是當時阿當的問題, 今天也是我們的問題。 讓我們想想一下, 什麼是我們的藉口, 繼續繼續進行學習, 繼續進行學習和學習?

[29:04] 為什麼我們要不斷讀書? 因為學習不夠有碩士,不是有博士? 為什麼我們要花太多時間和錢 讓我們把我們的房子更大, 讓我們的Facebook的網絡, 讓我們要很大的更漂亮, 或者我們沒有錢的, 但是我們的手機, 要不斷地用很多資料, 讓人知道我呢?

[29:29] 如果我們正確, 現在我們不是只追求永恆, 會不會是我們一直想追求永恆? 但是我們是用錯的方法去追求。 但是我們是用錯的方法去追求。 或是在新年的時候, 現在是時候問一些深層的問題。 或者在新年的時候, 我們真的要問一些深層的問題。 誰?

[29:58] 為什麼我會在這裡? 為什麼我會在這裡? 我的生命目標是什麼呢? 其實神已經把永恆安住在我們的內裡。 到底我們是否真的要尋找在這個永恆裡的真正的意義呢?

[30:21] 因為最後,在第四節, 在神的掌管下, 我們需要了解神給我們的作為。 而這個作者告訴我們, 其實他自己都不知道的。 神從此始終的作為, 都不能夠參透。 但是我們是否有追求他去明白他的心意呢?

[31:01] 因為他在前面的聖誌, 從耶穌基督釘十架之前, 當然我們都知道, 耶穌基督釘十架之前是很久的。 如果你們繼續讀《Ecclesiastes》的書, 我希望你們有做的, 大家會看到, 最終的結論是, 最終的結論是, 最終的結論是, 最終的結論是, 敬畏神。 但這就是他所說的。 但這就是他所說的。 我們只可以這樣做結論。 當教師寫了這些詞文, 千萬年代前, 當時, 神的救命計劃還在現場。 傳道者寫這個書的時候, 他們仍然是, 神的救恩, 透過耶穌基督還未曾成就。 所以, 這些作者一直來看, 仰望神的自己作為。 但是, 經過耶穌基督來到了, 然後之後跟隨耶穌的人, 就像使徒保羅。 因為, 因為在《Romans 5,6-8》, 他說這個, 你看, 當我們當時是無力的, 時代的, 神的救命是為無法治。 接著, 節奏寫這個, 神的救命是為我們。 當我們仍然是罪人, 神的救命是為我們。 在《羅馬書》第五章, 第六節至八節, 寶劳說, 因我們還作, 還軟弱的時候, 基督就按所定的日期, 日期就是時間, 為罪人死。

[32:56] Do you see, 時間是全是全是? 所以這個時間, 這個時機, 在神的裡面是很重要的。 當我們仍然是罪人的時候, 神已經為耶穌基督, 為我們死。 為我們死。 當我們仍然是罪人, 為我們死。 當我們仍然是罪人, 為我們死。 當我們仍然是罪人, 因為我們死。 今天, 在我們的掙扎, 在我們的恐懼, 在我們的無助無望的裡面, 耶穌基督為我們盯身。 弟弟和姊妹, 神的道德是這個。 神的道德是這個。 神的道德是這個。 ANSGENDARerd。 神的道德對應, 而因為和 Jesus的運動, 他的有不是バト。 還imo妟有任何方向。 伝導者告訴我們, 是啊, 凡事都有定時。 但耶穌基督之裡的時間是所有… jsk的道德是所有的, 對我們人生所有的答案。 preciso vào dear time, 而在正是正是正是正的。 正正是正是正的正時, 耶穌基督時他進入ồn whereas 凡是正在正的時ен的話。

[34:13] At just the right time, He announces the kingdom of God and heals and shows signs and wonders. And at just the right time, He hands Himself over and dies on the cross for sinners.

[34:43] And so what the teacher in Ecclesiastes could never see, you and I now can because of Jesus Christ. In the evangelism, He is looking for the success of the Lord.

[34:58] But if you and me, we will see in Jesus' 10-11. The teacher could not fathom, right? Verse 11, what God has done from beginning to end.

[35:08] But now we can because we see Jesus died and rose again. So the people who have said that the Lord's work is not able to do it.

[35:19] But today, we will see the 10-11 of the gospel of the Holy Spirit. We will see that the Lord's work is always in the history of the Holy Spirit. And the gospel of the Holy Spirit is always in the gospel of the Holy Spirit.

[35:32] This coming year of the Tiger, it marks a new chapter for all of us, right? That the new year of the Holy Spirit is always in the life of the Holy Spirit.

[35:44] But what about you? What will you do with your time this coming year? What about you? What will you do with your time this coming year? If you are a visitor here or you are listening online and you are not yet a Christian, Is this year the time to seriously ask who is Jesus?

[36:03] If you are a visitor, or you are a new visitor, or you are in the house or in the internet, or you are in the internet, or you are in the internet, If you are not yet to see Jesus, this is the time to see Jesus?

[36:17] Maybe it is time to join the church's seekers course, or to ask a friend to share the gospel, read the Bible with you. If you are in the church's church, you are in the church's church, or you are in the church's church, or you are in the church's church, we will be able to find the church's church.

[36:34] If you have sat in these blue chairs for much of your life, but you have never confessed your sin and turned to Jesus, is it time to do that this year? If you are in the church's church, you have sat over the past few years, but I do not have any knowledge of Jesus.

[36:51] Will this year be a time to be sure to share your life? Or is it time for you as a Christian to really commit to God's family here at PCBC?

[37:03] We are already sure that we are faithful to the Lord. But is it a moment that we are really in the Holy Spirit?

[37:15] For some of you here, if God has been calling in your heart to do something for Him, is it time to give up something good for something better?

[37:26] Is it time to follow His call for you into ministry, into mission, into the marketplace? Those people may be willing to know God's certiminating에К and journey through time this year that we remember God's wisdom that we've heard today.

[38:14] As you discussed, remember this, there is a time for everything. And remember, let's not just measure our time and control it, but appreciate it.

[38:32] And remember, because in His beautiful timing, we have seen Jesus. Let's do whatever we can in our time to help others know Him too.

[38:59] Our Father in heaven, thank you for putting eternity into our hearts. Forgive us for chasing eternity in our house, or our career, or our children.

[39:15] Thank you that only Jesus Christ, who loved us and died for us, can fill our need for eternity in our hearts.

[39:37] And we pray all these things in Jesus' name.

[39:49] Amen. Amen.
