ECCLESIASTES 3:1-8
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that
which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to
embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.”
 LEFT END RIGHT END
IMPERFECT PERFECT
IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE
PUNISHMENT REWARD
HATE LOVE
DISHARMONY HARMONY

and so on and so forth…

There are only two sides and two roads
in the journey of life to choose from, the
left and the right.

Road travelers never pass through the

junction or they will accidentally die!
 “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every
purpose under the heaven”
Eccl 3:1
“God, [and God alone] shall judge the righteous and the
wicked: for there is time for every purpose and for every
work.“
Eccl 3:17
 “What doth it profit, my brethren,
though a man say he hath faith, and have not works?
Can faith save him?
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
and one of you say unto them, depart in peace,
be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not
those things which are needful to the body;
what doth it profit?
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone .”
James 2:14- 17
"Dost thou still retain thine integrity? Curse god,
and die.“
Job answered his wife and said, ‘thou speakest as
one of the foolish woman speaketh.
What? Shall we receive good at the hand of god,
and shall we not receive evil?’
IN ALL THIS DID NOT JOB SIN WITH HIS LIPS.”
Job 2:9,10
 “There hath no temptation taken you
but such as common to man:
but God is faithful, who will not suffer you
to be tempted above that ye are able; but
will with the temptation also make a way
of escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”
1Cor 10:13
“There is a way which seemeth right unto a
man but the end thereof are the ways of
death.”
Prov. 14:12

“Count it all joy when ye fall into diverse

temptations.”
Habakkuk 3:17-18
 “And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man
which was blind from his birth.
And his disciples asked him saying,
‘Master, who did sin, this man or his parents, that
he was born blind?’
Jesus answered, ‘Neither hath this man sinned,
nor his parents: but that the works of God
should be made manifest in him.”
John 9:1-3
 “Fo r I w as an h u n ge re d , an d ye gave Me m e at :
I w as t h i rsty, an d ye gave Me d r i n k :
I w as a st r ange r, an d ye t o o k Me i n :

Matthew 25: 31-46

 “…Verily I say unto you,
inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one of the least
of these My brethren,
ye have done it unto Me.”
Matthew 25:40
“Well done, thou good and faithful
servant: thou hast been faithful
over a few things, I will make thee
ruler over many things: enter thou
into the joy of thy Lord.”
Matthew 25:21
FIND US FAITHFUL
We’re pilgrims on the journey of the narrow
road
And those who’ve gone before us light the way
Cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary
Their lives a stirring testament to God’s
sustaining grace
Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses
Let us run the race not only for the prize
But as those who’ve gone before us
Let us leave to those behind us
The heritage of faithfulness
Passed on through godly lives
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
May the fire of our devotion light their way
May the footprints that we leave
Lead them to believe
And the lives we live inspire them to obey
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone
And our children sift through all we’ve left behind
May the clues that they discover and the mem’ries
they uncover
Become the light that leads them to the road we
each must find
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
May the fire of our devotion light their way
May the footprints that we leave
Lead them to believe
And the lives we live inspire them to obey
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
May the fire of our devotion light their way
May the footprints that we leave
Lead them to believe
And the lives we live inspire them to obey
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful

Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful.
