The Word:
Meaning In Life: the study of Ecclesiastes
part 15
Ecclesiastes 5:15
As he came forth from his Mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labor, which he may carry away in his hand..
Today's verse mirrors what Job said - "Naked I came from my Mother's Womb and Naked I shall Return" this is the truth - we came into this world not owning anything and we shall leave the same way - you have heard it said time and time again that you cannot take it with you - I am reminded by the fact I celebrated another Birthday yesterday - each year that passes is one year closer to leaving this ol world - we must be ready at any time to be called home - life in the here and now is a gift from God although there are times that it does not seem like a good gift -lets face it - we live in a sin filled place - a place that is ruled not by God but the enemy - God is in control and the enemy cannot make a move without God's approval - the case for Job is just that -satan said Job would curse God if bad things happened to him - but this never happened and God won like He always does - and while we are just passing through this place -we must do all we can when its called today to love others Jesus calls us to love - we must be willing to give up our rights -our wants and our desires so that God can have His way in our lives - HE wants to mold us to be just like HIS SON - that is and remains God's goal for us - let's live with our eyes looking up to heaven - not down at what we may think we own - many times what we think we own actually begins to own us - lets learn to let go and allow GOD to move in our lives!
The Final Word:
You never see a hearse with a luggage rack....you cannot take it with you!
CHRIST gave us life - it all belongs to HIM!

GOD OWNS IT ALL - WE JUST BORROW IT FOR A LITTLE WHILE!
