Meaning In Life:The Study of Ecclesiastes
part 26
Ecclesiastes 8.12
Though a sinner do evil a hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before Him...

Sometimes it seems like all the bad things happen to the good people and while those who do evil seem to continue in their way without any harm -
this is just the way of this evil world - but evil will not win the final battle - so it is with those who fear God and follow His ways - the World will not respect us for our choices - they will not understand when we surrender all to Jesus - they will think we are crazy to trade it all in and follow after the LORD - a song by Mercy Me - called Crazy sums up these feelings -should we trade what's to come for a little time of pleasure? That would be crazy to trade this world for eternity goes this song and that is so true - many times our focus is off and on us - and this world - and we begin to take a step away from Jesus and a step toward the world - Jesus has told us we can be in the world but not of the world - we have to be willing to go outside our zones of comfort and present the gospel to those outside the walls of the church - to the world that is crazy - but when God calls you - its crazy when you don't heed His call - There has been something God had been calling me to for a long time - but I kept saying I cannot do this or that and finally God said - you are right - you cannot do it - but I can said God and now I am doing what God has called me to do - wish I would have answered the call earlier - but God knew when the time was right!
So follow after CHRIST with all you have and let the world think what they want - I heard a quote today - "what other's think of us is none of our business" try one day living your life that - and follow God no matter where HE leads you-
Those who fear the LORD will see Him!

BUILDING MOMENT: LIVE TO PLEASE GOD AND NOT THE WORLD!

Because we have CHRIST - we can go against the world's order!
