The Word:

Meaning In Life: the study of Ecclesiastes
part 18

Ecclesiastes 7:8
Better is the end of a thing then the beginning there of: and the patient in spirit is better then the proud in spirit.

Before we get into today's verse -I wanted to ask each of you to pray for this ministry - I have been doing this 10 years now - and ive been really praying about the direction God has for this ministry - part of this has been praying over what God wants for me to do - I was thinking about the name of the ministry as well - it began as Life in the Word - then became Livin in the Word - and now its Livin in the Word and Prayer -and then when I prayed about it - and thought about how God lead me to call each edition the daily blueprint -this is a name that I feel would better suit the ministry -but I wanted input before I go changing it - God uses all of us for His purpose -
The new proposed name is this: Building On The Word Ministries.
Please drop me a line to let me know what you think!
God bless, Daniel<><

Today's verse talks about the beginning and the end - one of the last CDs I got was from a band called Downhere -the title of the CD is - Ending is Beginning - this is so true - in light of yesterday's topic of death - our true beginning has not happened yet - the Word says that the ending is better then the beginning - what an odd statement -but since its in God's Word -we all know its true! The verse goes on to talk about a patient spirit - that is where I want to camp out today - We live in a world that is always in a rush - we rush to work - we rush to drop the kids off and pick them up - then we rush home - just to do it all over agian - we don't like to wait - any of you who have been out shopping know that sometimes checking out takes longer then the actually shopping - again we hate to wait for anything - many call this a microwave society - also we hate waiting for our computers to boot up and shut down - we are always in such a rush -God wants us to slow down - We should be patient because that is what God wants us to be - its in obedience to Him that we are to be patient and not only that -He gives us His Spirit and His fruit -we should be good waiters as Christ's children!
Sometimes the best thing to do is wait..lets wait on the Lord and trust HIM!

The Final Word:
Why are we in such a hurry? - Slow Down and smell the roses!
