“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. ” - Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NIV)
What an awe inspiring promise we have in today's verse which comes from the writings of King Solomon. First the promise that everything has been made by God. This is every activity or event for which a culmination point may be fixed. And it all has been made beautiful or appropriate for its time. Then we see the promise that God has made us for His eternal purpose. We will finally see this fulfilled in eternity for nothing in this post-Fall time can fulfill that purpose. In the time where we are now our understanding is unable to comprehend the work of God. We try but it is only through God ultimately revealing to us in eternity the mystery of His glory. We carry these promises with us and they give us hope for a future beyond the end of this world, a future that is worth holding on to our faith while we are here.
