—Ecclesiastes 3:16-22
by: Dale E. Rood.
Have you found yourself saying on occasion, “I’m glad to leave that matter in the hands of God. I don’t want to figure out that situation”? There are some heavy questions in this passage. In particular, do animals go to heaven when they die? No answer is given, but rather it states we need to leave these matters in God’s hands. He is willing to handle it, and we can trust Him because His judgment is right. Leave the things that belong to God in His hands, and let us focus on enjoying the work He has given us to do. (v. 22; Deuteronomy 29:29)
