A Proper Perspective

 

Today's Verse is Ecclesiastes 3:12

I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. 

    Solomon had researched all and found that “under the sun” all is vanity. There is nothing on this earth that of itself has any real value. Even great riches are only good for being looked at (have you ever heard, “You can’t have your cake and eat it too.”) Nevertheless, there is one thing that does have value, both now and in the world to come: Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For whether we have much, or all has been taken away, we that have surrendered to His care know that He has our backs (For ye shall not go out with haste, /Nor go by flight: /For the Lord will go before you; And the God of Israel will be your rereward [rear guard].) Therefore, whether you have great abundance, or appear to be suffering need, Will you Trust in the Lord God, even to calling Him YOUR Lord, placing your HOPE in Him, that whatever circumstance you find yourself in, you can rejoice? Amen.

To God be the Glory
