Sunrise Or Sunset?

It appears that every season of life has a sunrise and a sunset. A time for something to start and a time for something to end. As is said in Ecclesiastes 3: 1, "To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." The natural seasons aren't difficult to distinguish, but the spiritual seasons seem far more difficult. Jesus rebuked some folks in Matthew 16: 3 because they could discern the face of the sky, but couldn't discern the signs of the times. What season are we in at this time? I hope that we can discern the signs of the times in our lives as well as in the whole of life.
Nothing is more frustrating than to be planting only to find out that we should be plucking up that which is planted. Or to be laughing in life only to find out that we should be weeping. It's always a bother when mourning to find out that we are supposed to be dancing and rejoicing. A season to get, a season to lose, or a season to keep, verses a time to cast away. Perhaps a time to tear verses a time to sew, or a speaking time verses a silent time. God know what season or time it is in our lives. Let's listen to him closely to see if the sun is going up or the sun is setting or perhaps somewhere in between.
