SOAP – Ecclesiastes 3:1 There is a time and a season for every purpose under heaven. The proper activity at the right time, bringing about God’s purposes, is a beautiful part of God’s overall plan. God is sovereign and in control. Nothing that happens to us or around us is random or chaotic. We are all a part of God’s divine plan. Our activity in this world is meaningful as we rely on God’s wisdom, His timing, and His goodness.
