Eccleciastes 1-3: Revelation 10

Good Morning Truth Seekers! Eccleciastes 1-3 concludes that everything is meaningless. The writer has lived a wonderful life and has come to realized that he cannot take any of his stuff with him, and that every one will meet the same end; death. He exhorts that we live to please God for in the appointed time God will judge every deed.

Revelation 10: Serving God can be bitter sweet. Just like the scroll in this chapter is sweet in your mouth and sours the belly. The joy that comes with serving God is wonderful and fulfilling but likewise it carries with it heaviness and difficulties that come with it. Just like the sour belly, many things I have to experience comes with both joy and pain, both bitterness and sweetness. Simple things like being asked to assist a person or family in need. It is a part of the job, but it is no easy feat. Having to ask for help is no comparison to seeing God deliver that help needed. Bitter sweet.! The joy of seeing an addiction overcome, is far from the pain of trying to get them to that first meeting. But at the end I remember that it is God's responsibility to take care of his children, and giving him the authority to do it produces less burden and pressure. My job is to ask and see where God is working, and through whom. Praise God for all that he has done and for what he is doing?
