Good morning brother,
Topic: Remember your Creator
Read Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, Ecclesiastes. 12:1-14
Thoughts: Verse 1 In Chapter 11:9 we read that a young man should remember God. It says this: ‘Do not forget that God is your judge.’ While a man is still young, he should think about God. God created him. So God has the right to demand things. And he demands that young people should obey him all their lives. This poem gives many examples that show old age. When we are old, many things may be more difficult. We may have more problems as we become old. We may not remember God because of those problems. Then we will be sorry that we cannot enjoy ourselves. These words can mean also that there is no more time for pleasure.
05:06:45 From Harry to Everyone:
Verse 2 ‘Light’ is a way to describe ‘joy’. The sun, moon and stars shine with great or less powerful lights. And these lights refer to every kind of joy, both great and small. ‘Become dark’ refers to old age. Then we cannot enjoy all these things. Rain clouds continue to bring one storm after another. This means that troubles follow one another. This happens when we are old. There are physical problems and mental problems. And friends may die. Changes have to happen.
05:16:14 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone:
”The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem: “Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher. “Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.” What do people gain from all their labors at which they toil under the sun? Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever. The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises. The wind blows to the south and turns to the north; round and round it goes, ever returning on its course. All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again.“
Ecclesiastes 1:1-7
05:16:53 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone:
”All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing. What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which one can say, “Look! This is something new”? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time. No one remembers the former generations, and even those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow them.“
Ecclesiastes 1:8-11
05:17:22 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone:
”I, the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem. I applied my mind to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under the heavens. What a heavy burden God has laid on mankind! I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind. What is crooked cannot be straightened; what is lacking cannot be counted. I said to myself, “Look, I have increased in wisdom more than anyone who has ruled over Jerusalem before me; I have experienced much of wisdom and knowledge.” Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom, and also of madness and folly, but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind. For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief.“
Ecclesiastes 1:12-18
05:17:53 From JC Defeats to Everyone:
Reacted to "”The words of the Te…" with ❤️
05:18:33 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone:
”I said to myself, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good.” But that also proved to be meaningless. “Laughter,” I said, “is madness. And what does pleasure accomplish?” I tried cheering myself with wine, and embracing folly—my mind still guiding me with wisdom. I wanted to see what was good for people to do under the heavens during the few days of their lives.“
Ecclesiastes 2:1-3
05:19:05 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone:
”I undertook great projects: I built houses for myself and planted vineyards. I made gardens and parks and planted all kinds of fruit trees in them. I made reservoirs to water groves of flourishing trees. I bought male and female slaves and had other slaves who were born in my house. I also owned more herds and flocks than anyone in Jerusalem before me. I amassed silver and gold for myself, and the treasure of kings and provinces. I acquired male and female singers, and a harem as well—the delights of a man’s heart. I became greater by far than anyone in Jerusalem before me. In all this my wisdom stayed with me.“
Ecclesiastes 2:4-9
05:19:43 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone:
”I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. My heart took delight in all my labor, and this was the reward for all my toil. Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun.“
Ecclesiastes 2:10-11
05:20:11 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone:
”Then I turned my thoughts to consider wisdom, and also madness and folly. What more can the king’s successor do than what has already been done? I saw that wisdom is better than folly, just as light is better than darkness. The wise have eyes in their heads, while the fool walks in the darkness; but I came to realize that the same fate overtakes them both. Then I said to myself, “The fate of the fool will overtake me also. What then do I gain by being wise?” I said to myself, “This too is meaningless.” 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!“
Ecclesiastes 2:12-16
05:20:49 From Dennis Thicklin to Everyone:
HE (GOD) won’t ever go away……❤️
05:20:54 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone:
”So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me. And who knows whether that person will be wise or foolish? Yet they will have control over all the fruit of my toil into which I have poured my effort and skill under the sun. This too is meaningless. So my heart began to despair over all my toilsome labor under the sun. For a person may labor with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then they must leave all they own to another who has not toiled for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune. What do people get for all the toil and anxious striving with which they labor under the sun? All their days their work is grief and pain; even at night their minds do not rest. This too is meaningless.“
Ecclesiastes 2:17-23
05:21:17 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone:
”A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment? To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.“
Ecclesiastes 2:24-26
05:22:18 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone:
”Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, “I find no pleasure in them”— before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars grow dark, and the clouds return after the rain; when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men stoop, when the grinders cease because they are few, and those looking through the windows grow dim; when the doors to the street are closed and the sound of grinding fades; when people rise up at the sound of birds, but all their songs grow faint; when people are afraid of heights and of dangers in the streets; when the almond tree blossoms and the grasshopper drags itself along and desire no longer is stirred. Then people go to their eternal home and mourners go about the streets.“
Ecclesiastes 12:1-5
05:22:43 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone:
”Remember him—before the silver cord is severed, and the golden bowl is broken; before the pitcher is shattered at the spring, and the wheel broken at the well, and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. “Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher. “Everything is meaningless!” Not only was the Teacher wise, but he also imparted knowledge to the people. He pondered and searched out and set in order many proverbs. The Teacher searched to find just the right words, and what he wrote was upright and true.“
Ecclesiastes 12:6-10
05:23:18 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone:
”The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails—given by one shepherd. Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them. Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body. Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.“
Ecclesiastes 12:11-14
05:28:55 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone:
”But as for me, I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my help and my deliverer; you are my God, do not delay.“
Psalms 40:17
05:29:57 From Manny Ramos to Everyone:
Remember the LORD. Amen
05:30:42 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone:
”Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.“
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
05:35:54 From Manny Ramos to Everyone:
Morning brothers! Jesus loves you so much!
05:37:50 From Manny Ramos to Everyone:
Wise words to us can be like sharp sticks to make an animal move. Wise words can make our hearts move towards wisdom.
05:43:12 From Manny Ramos to Everyone:
Know your Creator and not get stuck in the things he created.
05:49:44 From Manny Ramos to Everyone:
Jesus is the Living Word. The well driven nail in our hearts. He is the Word of life in our hearts!
05:51:13 From Manny Ramos to Everyone:
Trust the nails of the Shepherd. He build a spiritual house that will withstand the storms and trials of this life. He has built a house of worship in us without human hands. Christs hand!
