Title: Things Never Change

Scriptures: Proverbs 31:14-15

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

Amazing Day with Jesus! Today, we moved onto the book of Ecclesiastes 1:1-8.  This is one of Solomon's great books and it contains great wisdom from wisest King ever lived.  In these verses, King Solomon speaks of everything being meaningless.  Every effort, every sweat, blood, strength that we put into are useless - nothing to gain from all the hard work we do in this life.  At first read, this may bring many questions but if you truly look into the words of the wise king, we can see that his words are true.  Indeed, all our efforts and hard work are meaningless because whatever success or achievements we get out of it, are all nothing but a gift from God - the One who gives and takes away! So does this mean we no longer work hard or give our effort in what we do?  No to such thing!  In fact, we ought to give our full effort and strength in everything we do for the Lord because God sees and rewards our hard work.  But note that whatever achievements or success we gain after giving all our hard work and effort, note that it's all nothing but a gift because the outcome will always requires God's approval.  So humility is key and knowing our place - don't feel entitled or think that we deserve them because we don't...everything is at the mercy of the Lord.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, wow!  First word that comes out of me is WOW!  I can't imagine such wisdom you've imparted to Solomon to think of such wise perception.  I am privilege and honored that You shared this secret word to me today.  Thank You for a wonderful message.  Help me Lord to know my place and to realize that everything I receive is nothing but a gift from You.  All is at Your Mercy.  Thank You Lord.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!
