Ecclesiastes 12
Inspired thots
What is Life? If not to know Christ, and to live fearing God and keeping His commandments; "for this is the whole duty of man." (v13)
It is wise to REMEMBER GOD when young before the spirit returns to God, who gave it. (v7) Without God, there is no pleasure in life at some point in time for all things are vanities.
In the end, there will be God's judgment on EVERY deed; how shall we answer God? What relationship have we established with Him to have His favour on that fateful day?
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)

A Time and Season
Ecclesiastes 11
Inspired thots
All that happens in life is in its time and season; as the Lord God created and willed it to be. Man does not know how it is; thus, live your life as best as you can while you wait for the time and season.
Accountability to God is for sure at the set time; for all is vanity without insight and understanding of the end.

Folly is like Foul Odor
Ecclesiastes 10
Inspired thots
One may not be wise but how sad if he is foolish. "A little folly outweighs wisdom and honor." (v1) One must be careful in making decisions in life which can be costly. There is always risk and danger at life's nooks and corners; hence, one must walk carefully along life's path to avoid undesirable consequences.
Think carefully before acting to avoid bad consequences. Walk not aimlessly in life; for that is folly.

ONE Fate to All
Ecclesiastes 9
Inspired thots
Whatever man does, one fate comes to all... Death. Everything and everyone are in the hand of God. With death, there is no knowledge or reward. No one knows his time to go. Life on earth would be forgotten; the living does not remember.
In life, DO your Best RIGHTLY before God with a Full enjoyment. Hence, when one meets the Maker, there will be joy and reward.

Finite Man Awaiting Judgment
Ecclesiastes 8
Inspired thots
Man is finite in every way; who can claim to be wise? only God! He who fears God is considered wise in God's eyes; he shall be kept safe until the day of judgment. No one knows the times and seasons. It is up to God who reveals and executes.
Blessed is the man who walks in Jehovah's ways; he shall be kept safe. Man lording over man brings on hurt and wickedness.

Be Not Extreme in Your Ways
Ecclesiastes 7
Inspired thots
What a hard life king Solomon must have had! He kept searching for the best and completeness in everything but found it not. He wanted to know everything but in the end becomes despondent.
It is enough that one man has tried to seek the answers and looked at both ends of the spectrum.
Conclusion:
It is not for man to become God; it is enough to be satisfied with what God has given. The rest is a striving after wind and vanity. Continuance leads to foolishness. How sad for life to be so fleeting! How true that what comes after does not impact those not around any more. Hence, consider Eternity with Jesus!

Wealth & Honor Do Not Satisfy
Ecclesiastes 6
Inspired thots
King Solomon must be VERY Wise to conclude that material gains and honor by men do not satisfy. I suppose HE would be the BEST person to make this conclusion; so there must be some truth in it.
Man is created by God with a Vacuum in his heart, soul and spirit which ONLY GOD can fill and satisfy.
Without God, life is meaningless; and a striving after wind. Man is born to live a brief life; like a candle in the wind; snuffed out soon enough.
How much would he have enjoyed his brief moments on Earth?
