God makes everything beautiful in its time, including this time.

A Bible affirmation for being present, rooted in Ecclesiastes 3:11.

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men, yet they cannot fathom the work that God has done from beginning to end.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 · BSB

Reflection

The Teacher admits we can't work out everything God is doing from beginning to end. But he's sure of this: God makes everything beautiful in its time. Some beauty only shows up in hindsight.

A prayer

God, help me trust Your timing, and see the beauty You're making right now.
