There is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-15

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:

I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. 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. I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him.

Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account.

And now we have a new perspective: 'under heaven'. And we see that there is a proper time for everything in life. God has made it so. We understand time, but we cannot comprehend the whole of Go's work. So we learn to stand in awe of God.

Why?

Everything is happening, again and again, no one could say he is better than before.

There is a time for everything, all of the men, animals, trees, every life will change for the time. No one can escape from the control of time.

The blessing of the Lord is we can be happy and do good while they live. That each of us may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all our toil. 

Don't lay down too much burden to us, but do our best for the Lord gives everyone different times and opportunities. 

God has set eternity in the human heart, so we should search the eternity which is located in the Lord.

萬物都有定時，人努力還有用嗎？時間已經安排好了，人在也時間裏面。從日光之下的思考，的確如此。

神要使人勞碌，人也按照這個法則，也成為美好。這個時間似乎是限制，反而因為這個約束，使人可以享受一切的途徑。只有神喜悅的人可以享受這個成果。不是人什麼都不做，而是按著這個規律可以達到。如果不在這個規律中，就是徒然。如搭車要查明時刻表，至少要知道首班、末班車，否則也是白等。

人在時間裏面，都是短暫的，暫時的事物。人又有永恆的渴望。很多事想知道，想明白。也因為如此，人無法明白，更讓人知道自己有限。我們有時候並不明白，但是不表示神是錯的。

連享受勞碌得到的成果本身就是恩典。只要存一個敬畏的人，照著神的所定的規律就沒有錯，因為神所定的不會錯。

已過的事再發生，表示神不斷給人機會，讓人重新悔改，如果沒有搭上這班車，可以再等下班。讓我們調整自己，使我們可以達成神要我們遵行的道路，法則。

How?

How little of human life, but if we know Jesus, our life may change to eternity.
