Ecclesiastes 3:14 I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him.
Ecclesiastes 2:17 up to the focus verse were exactly my feelings today. I'm feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and anxious with the toil of the job. I'm in a position where I do not know what next year will bring and that is controlling my thoughts right now. As Solomon says, there is a time for every activity under the sun. I feel like I am currently in a time of verse 4, "a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance". I'm ready for the latter of each of these phrases. I feel as though I have been stuck in a funk the last few weeks and it is starting to take its toll. I spend time with people I love and see God working in amazing ways, yet I am still drudged down by the toil under the sun. So I must remember Solomon's words that God is the only way for one to be happy and to do good. I am asking God now to come through on this promise. I need just a little ray of sunshine in the dreary winter. What God does endures forever, and I know that sometimes those things God does take some extra time. I'm hoping that the extra time God is taking right now is going to create something more beautiful and lasting than I can imagine. My favorite line of my reading today, "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end."-- Ecclesiastes 3:11 My hope for today is found in those poetic lines.
