The Timeless in our Hearts

"Vanity of vanities, says Qoheleth.

All things are vanity!" Ecclesiastes 1:2

Who in the world is Qoheleth?

Apparently, this is Hebrew for preacher or teacher.

And Ecclesiastes is a latinized derivation

of the Hebrew Qoheleth.

For this teacher, all has no meaning, no purpose.

If we concentrate on the misery, the evil, the corruption

there is in the world, surely we can say

all is chaos and vanity and all is worthless!

In the same book of Ecclesiastes,

we read:

"God has made EVERYTHING 

appropriate to its TIME,

and has put the

TIMELESS into our HEARTS."

Ecc. 3:11

I like to think of God putting the

TIMELESS into my heart!

I haven't figured out yet what 

that REALLY means.

All I know is that 

our TIMELESS, ETERNAL GOD

broke into our world

and has made everything possible 

for us who believe!

WOYWW: My Invisible Crown!

Last night I was making backgrounds 

and these were strewn all over my table when I woke up.

Maybe you can see the different bottle caps

and the cork I am going to use to add

more marks on it.

More backgrounds.

I like to make a lot so I have plenty to choose from

when i make my little paintings!

I want to draw a woman with a jar

and I am choosing from these two backgrounds.

I found her!

Do you see her now?

" We are merely jars of clay---

cracked pots, as one author put it.

Still, in our weakness and frailty,

Jesus wants to make us into vessels of honor, 

carrying within ourselves His presence 

and His promises.

He knows how weak we are, 

but He also knows that He has redeemed us

and made us into a new creation.

We are SO MUCH more

than  our human weaknesses and failings!

The question is:

"will I take hold of my heritage 

as a child of God?"

This is from The Word Among Us

which I read every day.

I am soooo claiming my inheritance

as a daughter of the King!

I always wear my 

INVISIBLE CROWN,

do you?

Shine on!

"But as for the seed that fell on rich soil,

they are the ones who,

when they have heard the Word,

embrace it with a generous and good heart,

and bear fruit through perseverance.

Luke 8:15

I pray that we who hear the Word

will not waste it.

It would be a pity if we, who are free 

to possess Bibles, to go to our services,

to worship freely with our congregations,

do not value the Word.

There are many places in the world so hungry to

read and hear the Word!

Like the Word from Proverbs below-

"Refuse no one the good on which he has a claim

when it is in your power to do it for him."

Proverbs 3:27

I liked what I read in the Word Among Us

meditation guide this morning.

"So many things are not within our power.

We are not likely to be able to cure cancer,

eliminate hunger, or establish world peace.

Even on a smaller scale,

much is beyond our control.

We can't force feuding relatives to speak to each other.

We can't guarantee that our children 

will always make wise choices.

Since we can't do everything,

we are often tempted to give up and do nothing.

But that's not God's way.

Jesus invites us to put our modest lamp

on a lamp stand.

However, much or little light it gives off,

the world will be a brighter place!"

I'm sure we want to make the world a brighter place!

Let us think in what way we can do this,

with what resources we have,

and where we are situated!

I admire my sister Peggy 

and her husband Charlie very much.

Every week, they go to our local jail

to preach the Good News.

I used to go with them but now,

because of some health challenges,

I am not able to go.

So how do I make this part of the

world brighter?

I make sure that Peggy and Charlie 

have cookies and juice to bring each week.

I'm going to think of other things I can do

to make Christ's light shine brighter

in my part of the world!

How about you?
