Wisdom and Time

Ecclesiastes 3:1-15

Wisdom and Time

Mike Chibbaro

Key Points

  • The more we acknowledge and accept that life is lived in seasons, the more sense we will be able to make of life and time.

  • Don’t miss the current moment by being preoccupied with “what’s next.” God intends the fruit of our labor to be enjoyed, not what fills us.

  • Many of our frustrations in life can come from a failure to transition from one season to the next.

  • God makes everything good in its time, but we are incapable of fully understanding his ways. This perspective helps us make sense of our seasons.

  • Fearing God should be our priority. A proper fear of God brings reverence, awe, and joy.

  • Jesus drew strength and perspective through prayer with the Father. 

  • The only way we can enjoy the ups and downs of life is through a personal relationship with Jesus.

Application

  • Does the way I spend my time indicate that fearing and obeying God is my top priority?
