Ecclesiastes 3:1, 9-13 (NLT)...

FROM TODAY'S READING (1/2/2018)...


"We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day."

Edith Lovejoy Pierce (1904-1983)


Ecclesiastes 3:1, 9-13 (NLT) For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven...

What do people really get for all their hard work? I have seen the burden God has placed on us all. Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end. So I concluded there is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can. And people should eat and drink and enjoy the fruits of their labor, for these are gifts from God.
