Solomon the wise, by divine inspiration said: “For everything there is a season, a right time for every intention under heaven- a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot …” (Ecclesiates 3:1-2, CJB). Those who know this passage will recall that verses 3 to 8 continue to compare and contrast the circumstances that we all experience in a normal lifespan, our time spent “under heaven”. Then verse 11 asserts that God has made everything suited to its time (TLV translation- “beautiful in its time”). In heaven it seems there is no measuring of time. There is just eternity. But Ecclesiastes says that God has already “set eternity” in our hearts (TLV); that is, God has “given human beings an awareness of eternity” (CJB). I was reminded of this passage because an excerpt was read at our service of Thanksgiving for Mummy’s life last Friday. We are still thanking God that she was born when she was born, that she accomplished all that she did in her 93 years under heaven, and that the eternity which was set in her heart has now become her reality.
