Edifying Ecclesiastes Reflections
Monday & Tuesday 4th & 5th November
Ecclesiastes 11 & 12
Ecclesiastes Opening Verse
“But divide your investments among many places, for you do not know what risks might lie ahead.”
Ecclesiastes 11:2 NLT
Plant your seed in the morning and keep busy all afternoon, for you don’t know if profit will come from one activity or another—or maybe both.”
Ecclesiastes 11: 6 NLT
Ecclesiastes 11 in full:
Ecclesiastes 12 Final Thoughts:
“But, my child, let me give you some further advice: Be careful, for writing books is endless, and much study wears you out. That’s the whole story. Here now is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone’s duty. God will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad.”
Ecclesiastes 12:12-14 NLT
Ecclesiastes 12 in full:
Final Ecclesiastes Reflections:
Everything in life begins and ends with God. From dust to dust, naked we arrived and naked we shall return and, despite it all, how shall we give account for how we lived? How do you want to be remembered? Why do we even care about all these things? If we believe the author of Ecclesiastes there is one thing which is not meaningless. Our account at the end of our days. Even in our youth this matters!
“Don’t let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and say, “Life is not pleasant anymore.”
Ecclesiastes 12:1 NLT
As we grow up, leave home and become adults we often seek to stamp our own authority on our lives, our relationships and our world. Not always with a positive impact and not always with a voice, but sometimes in action.
Today as America goes to the polls it’s time to take a step, a decision and express your freedoms. The very freedoms woman and slaves have fought for should not be taken lightly. The freedom to perform your civil duty came at a cost, it is a privilege and one where every person from every nation who can celebrate such freedoms should vote.
“Remember him before the door to life’s opportunities is closed and the sound of work fades. Now you rise at the first chirping of the birds, but then all their sounds will grow faint.”
Ecclesiastes 12:4 NLT
Today and everyday let’s seek for Justice, let’s Pray for Peace and for Jesus Christ to reign over all things including us, our nation and our world.
“Yes, remember your Creator now while you are young, before the silver cord of life snaps and the golden bowl is broken. Don’t wait until the water jar is smashed at the spring and the pulley is broken at the well. For then the dust will return to the earth, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.”
Ecclesiastes 12:6-7 NLT
Tomorrow and in the new year a new dawn awaits, but this is not an awakening to a faith based decision, the Creator of the world has always been on the Throne and has always been in control. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. Wherever you find yourself, don’t find yourself alone and with out your creator when he is freely available and willing to support you in every area of your life.
He has a beautiful, majestic and wonderful plan for your days ahead and the best is yet to be revealed to you!
And it shall come to pass in the last days, God declares, that I will pour out of My Spirit upon all mankind, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy [telling forth the divine counsels] and your young men shall see visions (divinely granted appearances), and your old men shall dream [divinely suggested] dreams.
Acts 2:17 AMPC
Therefore, as a community of believers of Jesus Christ let us stand on Gods word, taming our tongues, sharing Gods love and expressing the peace, grace and mercy of our Lord and Savior to those around us. Let us all seek Christ, share Gods Love and embrace the Truth of the Gospel in Jesus name. Amen
Let us Pray…
Father we seek to serve you, but need your help, Holy Spirit and Truth to set us free to share your grace and mercy with our friends and family. Lord teach us in the way to go and enable us to love all those we see, serve and seek to set free for the sake of your Son Jesus Christ. Amen
“So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the Lord.”
Lamentations 3:26 NLT
