FROM BEGINNING TO END - PART 4

THURSDAY 20 AUGUST 2025

Reference: Ecclesiastes 3:11 New International Version (NIV)

"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end."

Today's article is still on the first segment:

"He has made everything beautiful in its time."

The first impression of a versified reference is always crucial, and this simply means that God is the greatest time manager, who is an expert in shaping everything He has created into a more meaningful narrative in time. So there is no part of creation that is not advantageously useful in it's time, including waste products which can be recycled. In a nutshell, everything, in its depth, is beautifully unfolding over time at different stages of evolving emergence, and with varying degrees of successful establishment.

The versified statement, which is the denotation of the verity that God makes everything beautiful in its time, is a functional law of every creation managed properly. So the keyword in the versified segmentary statement is "Beautiful."

The important definition of the word "beautiful" is stated below as:

1. Pleasing the senses or mind aesthetically;

2. Being of a very high standard, designed to give pleasure through beauty.

It is also the Greek word known as Horaios (ὡραῖος), which is an adjective that comes from hora (season or right time) and initially meant "timely" or "in the right season". Figuratively, it means beautiful, flourishing, or fully developed, in harmony with the full season. Please kindly note the adjectival phrase "fully developed" because I will shed light on this segment by using it often in this article.

In terms of Christian faith, "beautiful" in this segmentary statement is strategically applied as "beatitude" which implies a "supreme blessedness" profitable for all purposes and stages of the Christian life - from its beginning to the end. This supreme blessedness implies the responsibility of Christ's approved gift of appointed leaders based on equipping God's people to do His work and build up the church, which the body of Christ. And this will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God's Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ" (See Ephesians 4:11-13 NLT).

Simply put, when the body of Christ gets to the point being fully mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ, it's symbolism indicates that God has "fully developed" and made the "body of Christ" beautiful in its time.

Indeed, God has made everything fully developed in its time. To instantiate this from an earthly standpoint, there has been a significant quantum leap in showcasing the rapid evolution of mobile technology, which has made our mobile smart phones extremely beautiful by being of a very high standard, designed to give increased functional features and incorporation, and the evolving expectations are springing forth from time to time. In other words, mobile phones have continued to evolve with notable advancements in processing power, camera technology, network speeds, and the integration of AI, thereby making the mobile technology even more beautiful in its time.

Beloved, kindly permit me to use this format as an illustration: In accordance with mobile phone's chronological order of the gradual development, we have the:

1. Early Mobile Phones (1980s-1990s).

2. The Rise of 2G and Texting (1990s).

3. Camera Phones and the Dawn of Smartphones (late 1990s-early 2000s).

4. The Smartphone Revolution (2007-Present).

5. Continued Innovation.

From this Chronological illustration, you can acknowledge that the "smartphone revolution" did not emerge in the 1980s-1990s, but rather it beautifully emerged in its time, with varying degrees of technology integration and successful developments since 2007. Why so? God has made their stages of evolution beautiful in its time, and therefore, the modern mobile phones are designed to be advanced, with more detailed features and functionalities, reflecting highly developed versions. Stay tuned for part 5. Shalom!

Scripture Reading - Isaiah 46:10-11; Psalm 57:2; Jeremiah 29:11; 1 Corinthians 1:8-9; Philippians 1:6.

Guided Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I thank you for making everything beautiful in its time, and by this revelation, I gracefully acknowledge that you are in the business of working out your plans and purpose for my life, by perfecting all that concerns me. I therefore, remain confident that You alone who began a good work in me will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ, in Jesus' Name, Amen.
