Ecclesiastes 3:11

No One Understands God's Mysterious Plan

¹⁰ I have seen the task which God has given to the sons of men with which to occupy themselves. ¹¹ He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted eternity [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end. ¹² I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good as long as they live;

From Beginning to End

From the Beginning

In Me

Under the Sun

Works of God

Hearts Of Men

No
