For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.
A ball player, playing on natural turf, is set to field a routine ground ball. The ball strikes a small
clod of clay and skips off the player's glove. A run scores. Through no fault of the player, the
game is lost. He's the goat. Wrong place, wrong time.
No matter "our luck" in life God has a plan for us, and we can always gain something from the
good times and the tough times.
(Ecclesiastes 3.1
NRSV)
A couple happened to be sitting in a restaurant in New York City. They overheard two Wall
Street types discussing a certain stock that was about to sky-rocket in value. The couple
rushed to the bank, withdrew their savings and invested in that stock. It was a risky venture.
They could have lost everything. They were what we call "lucky." The stock tripled in value in a
relatively short time and they made a killing.
Loving God, help me through the rough times and guide me in honoring you during the good
times. Amen.
