A Time for Everything

The Seth Mokitimi Methodist Seminary had our Graduation today. This is the devotion I used: 

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 throw 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 lose; a time to keep, and a time to throw 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.

Moreover:

there is a time to come to seminary and a time to leave seminary

a time to learn and a time to put learning into practice

a time to make much noise in chapel and a time to be silent

a time to work in the garden and a time to watch the plants grow

a time to ride in the seminary vehicle and a time to walk

a time to eat seminary food and a time to eat KFC

and there is a time to study and a time to graduate;

Ecc 3:14  I know that whatever God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it; God has done this, so that all should stand in awe before him.
