WHEN IT STRIKES THEM............TIME
I saw something under the sun. The race isn't won by fast runners,or by fast runners,or the battle by heroes.Wise people do not necessarily have food.intelligent people do not necessarily have riches,and skilled people do not necessarily receive special treatment.But time and unpredictable events overtake all of them.No one knows when his time will come.Like fish that are caught in a cruel net or birds caught in a snare,humans are trapped by a disaster when it suddenly strikes them.(ECCLESIASTES CHAPTER 9:11-12)
Yes we are all going to face this some day.Disasters and death.It should keep us all well grounded.This is a book written without the new covenant made with us by the death and risen Lord....JESUS CHRIST.THIS BOOK IS ACTUALLY VERY TRUE.All these issues still plague us,but Christ is our cover.We are not saved from these things,but we have a savior to walk us through it. Trust is imperative! When we are in situations that are seemingly impossible you can believe Christ is not dead. He cares about every single issue in your life.And he knows your end.Do you?No you do not.The race is won by Jesus Christ our Lord.
This book in the Bible is the best man can do apart from God,understanding God alone will bring everything into judgement.When i was young i prayed for much wisdom. I got it.Did not use it. The following scripture explains.ECCLESIASTES CHAPTER 1:VERSE 18,For in much wisdom is much grief:and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow.
That is just the way life is.BUT....
For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world;but that the world through him might be saved.(St John chapter 3 verse 17.) God does not condemn us of our sin...we do.We have Christ as the one who has paid the price to redeem us.)Ya see there is hope.My hope under the sun is in the person of Jesus Christ.Whatever my lot.....i must say....it is well with my soul.
