December 11th, 2023~Focus on God; Stay In The Race✨

Have a Blessed Monday with Jesus.❄️Seek Him First. Meditate on Ecclesiastes 9.  It’s hard to grasp cases where the swiftest and strongest don’t win, the wise are poor and go hungry, and the skillful and intelligent are never rewarded with wealth or honor. Some people see these examples and call life unfair. They are right.

The world is finite, and sin has twisted life, making it what God did not intend. Solomon is trying to reduce our expectations. We must keep our perspective clear, and focused on God. We must not let the problems of life keep us from earnest, dedicated work. We serve God, not people (see Colossians 3:23).

”I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.“

‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭9‬:‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬
