Your coming to trust in the word of the lord God of Isreal Marks the end of tears and sorrow, and a new opening to fulfillment of your lifes inspiration and eternal life.
Ecclesiastes 9:11: " I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong , neither yet bread to the wise, nor get riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all."
Hard work is indeed very good. But securing profitable opening is only by divine direction. Opportunities are never lost because every opportunity one missed is picked up by someone else. Where you get to in life is not determined by how good or how qualified you are, it is based on your being in the right place at the right time. The only way we can be in the right place at the right time is to be led by the Spirit of God. This will only happen if we wait on the lord. The Scripture says that God will reveal deep things to us by His Spirit
( 1 Cor. 2:9, 10).
