THOSE WHO FEAR GOD WILL DO WELL

Ecclesiastes 8:13 13 But those that do not fear God, it will not be well, and their days will not be prolonged, which are shadows; because we do not fear God. People without God struggle to find meaning in life; they have all the material prosperity in the world, but no peace.  So they being to look for it in other people, places, and things; which all becomes meaningless, and your life as well.  We are made to have a purpose in life; not of our will, but of His will.  Our way of life brings prosperity that will not last; material things that will get old and mean nothing to anyone but you.

Eccl. 1 The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem:
2 “Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher. “Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.” 8 All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing. 16 For the wise, like the fool, will not be long remembered; the days have already come when both have been forgotten. Like the fool, the wise too must die! 2 And I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive.

Lord,  our beliefs are strong as we walk in Your will for our lives.  We pray for Your guidance, protection, and provisions; and we ask for forgiveness when we are weakened by temptation and our flesh.  Father, we need Your strength to keep us secure, Your peace that brings us joy through the storms, in Jesus name.  Lord, everything about this life is meaningless without You, so please open our hearts and minds so that we can receive You. Father, thank You for keeping Your promise to us “ that when we call You will answer those who believe and obey.  Thank You, for You grace, mercy, and favor; as well as life, health and strength.  Thank You, for the hedge of protection you have around our children; help them draw near to You Lord.  Lord, thank You for saving us, in Jesus name, Amen
