In the course of our lives, one of the very first words we learn is ‘why’!   Seems that it is the case even as adults, we continually ask, ‘why’!  
What ever promps the question, even if there is no one around; we can look up to the ‘heavens’ and ask ‘why’.  

It most certainly is a test of faith!   For in journeying through this life we know everything happens for a reason.

In referencing  Esslesiastes chapter 3 verses 1-15 )   1) “There is an appointed time ccfor everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens.”

2)”A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant.”

3) ” A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build.”

4) ” A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.”

5) ” A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them; a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.”

6) ” A time to seek, 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 be silent, and a time to speak.”

8) “A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.” 

9) ” What advantage has the worker from his toil? 10) I have considered the task which God has appointed for men to be busied about.   11) He has made everything appropriate to its time, and has put the timeless into their hearts.   Without men’s ever discovering, from beginnimg to end, the work which God has done.   12) I recognized that there is nothing better than to be glad and to do well during life.   13) For every man, moreover, to eat and drink and enjoy the fruit of all his labor is a gift of God.   14)I recognized that whatever God does will endure forever; there is no adding to it, or taking from it.   Thus has God done that he may be revered.   15)   What now is has already been; what is to be, already is; and God restores what would otherwise be displaced.”

In life we can only live according to Gods ordinances and hold fast to Him and His teachings.   To have lived as such is to be at peace.   The soul thirsts for God!   One day when our appointed time is ‘now’ joy will fill the soul.   Living less that the ‘will of
God’ is to sorrow over what is to come.   For the soul has then not known God, but has delighted in doing his own will.   The teachings of the Holy Scriptures and the Love of the Son of God are mankinds gift from the One true God.   Laziness, and sloth, lead a man to oppose God.   Why?   Because God gave mankind an answer, and example, and truth!   Many oppose Him!   Flesh, and its desires are consuming the world.   Money, and the love of money, for a moment  in time  are devouring a souls for eternity.
