CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I was introduces to the Book of Ecclesiastes in 1965 when the Byrds release their hit, Turn, Turn, Turn. It was written by Pete Seeger, one of America’s great song writers, in the late 1950’s. Most of the lyrics are taken from Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8
Ecclesiastes 3:
1 “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
2 a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
3 a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 a time to seek, and a time to s lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.”
The song led me to read the Book and it surprised me with verses like:
1:3 “What does man gain by all the toil at which he toils under the sun? 4 A generation goes, and a generation comes, but the earth remains.”
1:9 “What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.”
The writer goes on to say that everything is meaningless/vanity. All that we strive for is of no real value whether it is position, power, possessions, or persona. There is injustice, oppression, evil, and wickedness. We come into this world naked and we go out naked.
But at the end of the Book there is great wisdom given to the reader. It is found in the final two verses.
Ecclesiastes 12:
13 The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.”
Wise words for us to remember and to heed.
