Summary
Solomon uses a poem about life's seasons to show believers how little control they have over time, then reveals that God as the author of our story provides meaning. Trusting God's sovereignty and living with eternity in mind transforms despair into joy, urgency, and worship.
Highlights
God lifts us out of the valley of despair by reassuring us that He is the author. We find comfort in this.
When we realize how small we are, how incomprehensible God is, it doesn't move us to despair, but to worship.
God is the author of my story so I can trust in His timing in the good and in the hard.
