BIBLE PASSAGE: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8.
[1]To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
[2]A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which 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;
[6]A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
[7]A time to rend, 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 of war, and a time of peace.
MEMORY VERSE: “And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.” 1Chronicles 12:32.
