Ecclesiastes 3 opens with a poem: 'For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.' A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to uproot. A time to weep and a time to laugh.
Solomon, who'd tried everything money could buy, is making a simple observation: life moves in chapters. Nothing stays the same forever — the good or the hard.
That's both a comfort and a warning. The painful season isn't permanent. The easy season isn't either.
Most of our exhaustion comes from refusing to accept the season we're actually in. Knowing the season helps you stop fighting the wrong battle.
