Qoheleth: Verse of the Day

 

  

 We need to keep our eyes focused on the Lord and when things get very scary (and believe me, they will) we need to redouble our efforts to keep our eyes Anna trust in Him!  Whatever the situation, you can rest assured, knowing; He Knows, He Cares, and He’s there with you.  When we remember He has asked us to cast our cares upon Him, and to trust Him.  When we remember He has promised never to leave us, or forsake us, and that He cannot lie. We need to let go and rest in His promises.  It’s definitely not easy, but it’s also not as hard as we think.

 

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas this year.  So thankful that several years ago, the Lord gave me the best gift I could have asked for, the salvation of my soul.  Such an underserved gift, but one given to me by God because of His great love.  Not because of what I was, but in spite of what I was.  The only thing that I had to do to receive it was to admit I was a sinner (not hard to prove) , and that Jesus (God in the flesh) came to live a sinless life and to die on the Cross for my sin and the sin of all the world.  So grateful  to be one of the “whosoever” will.  Thank you Father God, for the gift of your son, and for your Mercy and Grace! If you want to know Jesus as your savior, all you have to do is ask!  Most things in life are dependent on who you are, or who you know.  How much money or education you have?  Where you are from, or what color you are?  What you have done, or what you can do?  Whether you are docile, or aggressive?  How tall you are, or what sex you are?  S

  The heart  is  deceitful above all  things , and desperately wicked: who can know it?   I the LORD search the heart,  I  try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways,  and  according to the fruit of his doings.”

 

GUILE ,  noun  gile. Craft; cunning; artifice; duplicity; deceit EVIL  2556   kakós  (an adjective, and the root of  2549 /kakía , "inner malice") – properly, inwardly  foul ,  rotten  ( poisoned ); (figuratively) inner  malice flowing out of a  morally-rotten  character (= the "rot is already in the wood"). The word evil here refers to all types of evil that can be spoken.  A positive way to say this is found in Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. We fool ourselves into thinking it is ok to talk about someone judgmentally, if the thing we are saying is ‘true.’  The truth is, unless we are saying that thing to build up the person, or to try to help in the situation, we are truly just telling it to delight ourselves in gossip.  We edify ourselves in effect stating how much better we are than the person we are talking about.  We also put ourse
