Seasons in the Sun

6 June 2007 - Seasons in the Sun

Ecclesiastes(传) 3:1

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heaven.

If we say four seasons in a year, then everyone will understand deeper the meaning of this verse, especially for those who lived in those places. We know that 4 seasons include:

1. Spring – A season where the floras start blossoming and flowering
2. Summer – A season where the weather become unreasoningly hot
3. Autumn – A season of which the withering of floras come, welcoming winter
4. Winter – The coldest season among all four, some places are filled with snows

Now, what am I trying to say, these 4 seasons represents different environment and different feelings, poets often use seasons to represent their mood in poetry, and many literatures contains seasons representing their feelings and situations. It includes not only the change of climate, but the change of mood and environment.

So this is the meaning of the verse above, there is a season for everything. There is a change of everything, take note, is EVERYTHING. So you can understand that sometimes we work, we study, we live and everything must have a period and it will change. Sometimes we felt that we have no mood in everything, that we did not find them meaningful; but sometimes we found that we sometimes had a great drastic change of the point of view of something that all of them are meaningful to you.

There is a time for them to come, so we should not be grabbing them too much as they will soon be coming. Everything that God made has a time, so sometimes when businessmen felt that his business is experiencing a low season, it will soon be over; sometimes it is just the feeling that is playing the part, so we have to overcome it. The seasons, no matter you like it or not, it will soon be coming. SO what we have to do is to learn to accept it and overcome it.
