Today's Devotion:
"Making Things BETTER"
Have you ever heard someone say,
"OH! For the GOOD OLE DAYS!"?
Well, I remember the "good ole days."
I remember drawing water from a well in
a 5-gallon bucket until my hands were raw
from rope burns.
I remember going to the outside toilet in
twenty degree weather.
I remember wringing chicken's necks and
cleaning them! ((OOOO - STINKY!))
_______SCRIPTURE____________
Ecc. 7:10-12
10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the
former days were better than these? for thou
dost not inquire wisely concerning this.
11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and
by it there is profit to them that see the sun.
12 For wisdom is a defence, and money is a
defence: but the excellency of knowledge is,
that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
KJV
_______THOUGHT______________
Thank God, we have an "inheritance" from
our forefathers (and mothers) that yielded
many inventions which make life easier!
Now, along WITH that inheritance, it's good
to have WISDOM (verse 11).
Wisdom is the insight to Leave the world
BETTER with what we have.
If a person has plenty of money, he has a
"defense" in life.
If a person has plenty of wisdom, he also
has a "defense" in life.
Which is BEST to have?
Solomon says "wisdom" is best.
Because wisdom causes a person to think,
rearrange priorities and plan for the future.
Solomon was born rich.
Then he was GIVEN wisdom.
From where did that wisdom come? GOD!
Therefore, (verse 14) when we meet prosperity,
we should be joyful.
And when we meet adversity, we should consider
that God has SET these things, and we cannot
change them.
The best thing for us to do is go to God in prayer
asking for guidance and peace to sustain us in
times of difficulty.
WHILE we are here, let us make things
BETTER for the next generation!
Love ya!
Bro. Bruce
