Reasonable and Diligent

As Solomon continues to reveal to us not just how to live in the world God made, a world that now is under the weight of sin, a world that is condition by being under the sun, he also tells us what to expect in our lives. "There is a season…" is one way that Solomon puts it, which refers to the seeming randomness of life, but is all part of God's providence. Both light and dark, sweet times and bitter are all part of God's plan, know that both are coming and rejoice in both. To this Solomon adds that in order to live in an unpredictable world you are better off at getting a head start - start young with eyes wide open.
