What's the Point? (A Study in Ecclesiastes: Part 3)Esimerkki

REMEMBER YOUR CREATOR As much as Q encourages us to live our one life to the fullest, he points out that we should also live that life well – keeping in mind that God will hold us accountable for all that we do “under the sun.” The solution? Enjoy your life by living it for God! Enjoy your life by living it with God! He instructs us to “ remember also your Creator in the days of your youth .”(Ecc 12:1). By this, he means to remember, call to mind and speak aloud who God is and consider Him in all the activities of our lives. If we intentionally remember that it is God who gives all good things. We involve Him in all aspects of living (actions, decisions, work, home, relationships, challenges… ), our days will be sweet, and we will have nothing to fear in the coming judgment. Q wants us to build our lives on things of lasting value, not meaningless vapor. Based on today’s reading, what do you think are some things of lasting value? Ask Yourself : How much of your time and energy are you investing into things of lasting value? Are there any areas of your life that you have not recently considered God in? Pause to Pray : Read Psalm 63:1-8 and let it be an inspiration for your prayer today. Take the Next Step : Make an honest assessment of your typical day’s schedule. Are there any areas that you need to invite God into? Ask Him to show you any ‘meaningless vapor’ and commit to making changes that He guides you toward.
