Eccl 2:24 - Enjoy the good of your labor. Be even in the events of life---not leaning in hope that this will make me happy nor sinking in despair that this has happened. Walk into the events of this day on purpose expecting God. There is a time for every event under heaven. Eccl 3:1. God has put the event of Eternity in our hearts. Eccl 3:11. Solomon penned these words in his event search, his trial of every commodity, every experience, every person. All Futility. Nothing new under the sun. No new words either. There is a Season. And a Time. We cannot cover up the emptiness of our existence, if it be so, and live with the illusion of satisfaction. Today. "Emptiness is covered by distraction. Loneliness is numbed with sociability. Futility is denied in activity. Premature and superficial satisfaction with the good things of life prevents My people from grasping the incredible news that My reality of joy, community, and meaning has invaded theirs." The ultimate good is living for God's Glory but the words run cheap. Look at yesterday's post.
PRAYER FROM PSALMS
Psalm 17:15 May we only be satisfied with seeing Your Likeness in our lives and the lives of those we touch. Help us to see through the thin veneers varnished on our events. Illusions exposed.
