A Good Life Revealed
Proverbs 16: 3, commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.
Many people dismiss the Old Testament as not being relevant in these times. The truth however is the exact opposite of that line of thinking. We live in what has been referred to as the me generation. The words in Proverbs and Ecclesiastes seem like they were written with these times in mind.
While most people are confused and afraid of what goes on in this world, and where they fit in it, it isn't anything to worry about if you have the answers. As you probably figured out by now, the answers are in the Bible
Romans 15: 13, now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace and believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
If you were to seriously study the books of Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes, you could put together what we will call a game plan for life. There is so much truth in these books that it has gone unnoticed among the general population.
I am in my 80s, and I have in the last few years figured out what the book of Ecclesiastes says is absolutely true. If you take the book of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, and follow them with all your heart, you will not end up frustrated as Solomon was.
Matthew 6: 33, but seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Following the word of God from the beginning is the key to success. You will find that God is ready and more than able to help you in your endeavors if you follow the basic plan that He laid out. Yes, God laid it out because the word is from God Himself.
After the better part of a lifetime, I have come up with the conclusion, that if I knew about Ecclesiastes and Proverbs when I was young, and asked the Lord to help me to spend my life following what those books teach, even if nothing that I did changed, my attitude would have been much better, and peace would be in my heart, because I would realize that God allowed it for a reason.
The big thing I would like to stress is, you are never too old to start again. Your decisions, your free will, got you to where you are today. The amazing thing is if you go to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and give Him your life and put your life in His hands and don't interfere, you will be Blessed beyond measure.
Remember this, the word of God isn't like a commercial on TV that promises a cure all for everything. You must take some time and effort to find out how the game is played and whether or not you want to win or lose. God Bless you and your family.
Praise The Lord!
Remember Jesus Loves you.
Prayer of Salvation.
My Lord Jesus Christ, I Thank you and Praise you for what you did on the Cross for me. By your Stripes I was Healed and your Blood washed away my sins. Your Death and Resurrection made my Salvation possible. I confess my sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal Savior. Thank you Lord
Amen!
Praise The Lord!
