Ecclesiastes 9:11 by adecz: 7:58am On Dec 17, 2017
This is one of my favorite verses
in the Bible that philosophically summarizes
& crystalizes the destiny of man on earth.

Commentary;

For having urged men to labour with all their might, the Author now adds, by way of caution, that yet they must not be confident of their own strength, as if they were sure of success by it, but must look up to God for his blessing, without which all their endeavours would be in vain.

Men's success seldom equals their expectations. We must use means, but not trust to them: if we succeed, we must give God the praise; if crossed, we must submit to his will. Those who put off the great concerns of their souls, are caught in Satan's net, which he baits with some worldly object, for which they reject or neglect the gospel, and go on in sin till they suddenly fall into destruction.


What is your own favorite
an why?

Yours Sincerely,

God is Time and Chance; Light, Good and Life; Artists, Scientists, Prophets and Apostles amongst us. God is Omni-Everything.
Halleluyah is my verse!!!
