—Ecclesiastes 3:9-15
by: Dale E. Rood.
Have you ever thought about the order in God’s creation? Verse 15 is the basis for scientific investigation. It is the principle that, given certain conditions, an observable phenomenon will repeat itself. We can depend on gasoline burning in the cylinders of our cars, for instance. We can predict that when we run electricity through our electric light bulbs that we will get light. Truly God has made everything beautiful, but only in its time. It will wear out. But there is something in the hearts of mankind that longs for that which won’t wear out. It is called “eternity.” This longing is what drives mankind to seek God.
