When we acknowledge God is in control (not us) it makes a difference in how we live...and in how we die.

There may be people in your life who are causing conflict and tension—take it first to God in prayer. Refuse to retaliate and trust God for the outcome.

Some things are worth waiting for. Do you struggle with God’s timing? Think of Ecclesiastes 3:11, “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” Trust that God knows what He’s doing and wait patiently for Him to act.

While we are always on the brink of change, Ecclesiastes 3 draws out two questions that must be addressed.

The interlude in Ecclesiastes 3:11-15, though brief, brings into perspective several things Solomon had missed in his search for purpose and direction.

In the final paragraph of Chapter 3, Solomon is alone with his thoughts. He admits his disillusionment and confusion.

Sufficiently prepared by Moses before his death, the people committed themselves to the tough task of conquering Canaan, which they accomplished with the sovereign assistance of Jehovah. Divided, they could never have done it. Unified, they were strong. The same is true for churches today.

If we take Solomon's counsel to heart, two are better than one, we learn how to survive lonely, desolate days.

It's lonely at the top. The dream of climbing the ladder to success is more often than not a distress-ridden nightmare.

Material gain will never satisfy your spiritual hunger. Neither will power, prestige, or success. If you pursue these things you may gain the world for time, but you could be forfeiting blessings in eternity.
