I have seen the tasks God has given people to keep them occupied. He has made everything appropriate and beautiful in its time. He has also put eternity in their hearts but man cannot discover the work God has done from beginning to end. Know that all God does will last forever. There is no adding to it or taking from it. God works so that people will be in awe of Him.
Ecclesiastes 3:10-14
We know that God works together in all things for the ultimate good of those who love God, those who are called according to His purpose. For those He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His son...those He predestined, He also called; Those He predestined He also justified and those He justified He also glorified.
Romans 8:28-30
As we read God's word as given through Solomon, we do very well to keep the words of Christ ever before us: "My yoke is easy and My burden is light", If we want to work and get satisfying rest at the same time, then we must take Christ at His word. Even more than the electronic sales pitches and the many on the airwaves clamoring for your attention, the spiritual sales pitch battle is at an all time high. I have a card that reads: NOT FOR SALE. The world may be filled with sales pitches and that is not bad unless you believe you belong to Christ and yet sell yourself on the auction block of the duped and deceived by submitting to the greatest and the lowest slave trader of all time...There is no getting back to freedom for those who cross that line. The Savior is always both Beautiful and Good and has created you to follow in His, your Father, Savior and Creator's steps. Thank Him today for creating you as both beautiful and good... like Him.
Isaiah 14:17, John 10:9-10
"As I write this, it is only the second month in 2016. Yet already we have had the opportunity to share gospel to tens of thousands of people this year around the globe . Truly as reports poured in from our team members after speaking, goose bumps prickle my skin and tears spring to my eyes as I read. God is so clearly at work in utterly amazing ways. They are filled with stories of people, individuals who heard the message of the gospel and responded. Lives are being transformed one by one."
