Ecc 3:6
A time to search and a time to give up as lost;
A time to keep and a time to throw away.

There is a time to press on.
We may search and search, but there is a time to press on with the knowledge that things are lost.

There is a time to keep and a time to throw away.

Too often we retain the past…things and thoughts…rather than release them and press on.

It is good to remember/keep the things of the past.
It is not good to live in the past.

Yes, search.
But if the Lord says “give up”, then do so and press on.

Yes, keep.
But if the Lord says “throw away”, then do so.

Listen.
Obey.
