PEACE Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: 
a time to be born and a time to die, 
a time to plant and a time to uproot, 
a time to kill and a time to heal, 
a time to tear down and a time to build, 
a time to weep and a time to laugh, 
a time to mourn and a time to dance, 
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, 
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, 
a time to search and a time to give up, 
a time to keep and a time to throw away, 
a time to tear and a time to mend, 
a time to be silent and a time to speak, 
a time to love and a time to hate, 
a time for war and a time for peace. 

There is a time for everything 
Ecclesiastes 3:11  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 3:17  I said to myself, "God will bring into judgment both the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, a time to judge every deed."
Ecclesiastes 8:6  For there is a proper time and procedure for every matter, though a person may be weighed down by misery.

a time to plant and a time to uproot 
Isaiah 28:24  When a farmer plows for planting, does he plow continually? Does he keep on breaking up and working the soil?

a time to kill and a time to heal 
Deuteronomy 5:17  "You shall not murder."

a time to be silent and a time to speak 
Esther 4:14  "For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?"
