Meaning In Life:The Study of Ecclesiastes

part 33

Ecclesiastes 9.17
The words of wise men are heard in quiet more then the cry of him that rules among fools.

The world in which we live in is not all there is - keep that in mind as this devo continues - the world is upside down - what is good has been called bad and what is bad has been called good - in this world -we must have our barrings in God or else we will fall to anything that comes to us - Many want a vibrant - charismatic leader that speaks to the itching ears - one who is very flamboyant - one that can draw a large crowd - but God uses the quiet -the marginalized -those that the world ignores - God uses - He will always confound the wise with the humble - those who work behind the scenes are just as important as those in the limelight - God says it in today's verse- that God will use the humble - the quiet -those who don't brag about what they can do - God uses the wise man who is quiet and speaks the truth - over someone with a long list of accomplishments - God will use those the world calls foolish to show the truth to a world that is lost and dying - we must have God's wisdom to live the life in the here and now - this world is passing by - none of us will be here for long - now is the time to ask for wisdom - our nation is going through much right now - but many are focused only on the economy and not the spiritual condition of it's leaders - many can say many wonderful things - many can in their own power say they will fix it all - but it takes a real humble man to say that only GOD can do it - so what do you think? We must have wisdom to know how to love those around us - let's ask for GOD'S wisdom so we will be wise!
Not wise in the world's opinion but wise in the grace of God!
Amen!

BUILDING MOMENT: Always be ruled by God and not by fools!
Because we have CHRIST - our lives reflect HIS grace & glory!
