Edifying Ecclesiastes Reflections
Tuesday 29th & Wednesday 30th October
Ecclesiastes 5:9-20. Ecclesiastes 6:1-12
Opening Verses
“As he came naked from his mother’s womb, so he will return as he came; and he will take away nothing from all his labor that he can carry in his hand. [Job 1:21; 1 Tim 6:7] This also is a grievous evil—exactly as he was born, so he shall die. So what advantage has he who labors for the wind? [1 Tim 6:6]
Ecclesiastes 5:15-16
Memory Verse
“For who [limited by human wisdom] knows what is good for man during his lifetime, during the few days of his futile life? He spends them like a shadow [staying busy, but achieving nothing of lasting value]. For who can tell a man what will happen after him [to his work, his treasure, his plans] under the sun [after his life is over]?”
Ecclesiastes 6:12 AMP
Ecclesiastes 6 in full:
Ecclesiastes Reflection
As we see others around us we are invited by God to seek to encourage, edify and enable our fellow Brothers and Sisters in Christ. When we often seek for change in the Church we look at the paid members of staff, the Pastor or maybe the young couple who just started on staff. What would happen instead if we asked God to raise up leaders from within our congregation? The successful businessman or business lady inside of our congregation could be the next Christian leader to be the change we seek. What if instead of looking towards the existing over burdened team leads we are already stewarded by we chose to mentor someone in our congregation.
“Also, every man to whom God has given riches and possessions, He has also given the power and ability to enjoy them and to receive [this as] his [allotted] portion and to rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God [to him].
For he will not often consider the [troubled] days of his life, because God keeps him occupied and focused on the joy of his heart [and the tranquility of God indwells him].”
Ecclesiastes 5:19-20 AMP
Perhaps a youth member, a student or single person who would love to receive help, guidance and council from a fellow Brother or Sister. Instead of looking at the top, look to the side and find the person next to you!
As we explore and navigate through the week ahead let’s fix our eyes on Jesus, praying for the emerging leader within our congregation that he would like for us to raise up and to be the next person to lead the change we seek within our Church. All it takes is belief, time and investment in someone to help bring the necessary, required and intentional change you seek by praying, seeking God and petitioning heaven for this new leader! Don’t look to complain or explain away the need for change, pray for the person and being the change through mentoring others!
Tonight as we rest and tomorrow as we rise help us O Lord of Lord and King of Kings to seek for you to reveal to us a new person who we may encounter and encourage in their calling to serve you. Help us Lord to be your hands and feet to serve the next generation in Jesus name. Amen
Let us Pray…
Father help us to raise up leaders within the Church, to mentor, to help grow and share your word as we learn how you want us to bring change. Help us not to bring our own agenda, but to seek your good, perfect and pleasing will in all we do in Jesus name. Amen
“So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the Lord.”
Lamentations 3:26 NLT
