Daily Principles from Ecclasistes

Greetings Friend.


The book of Ecclesiastes encourages us and instructs us on many life topics, all of which are important to own from the heart. A good practice is to meditate through the book at least once each year. If you have not done so for a while, consider doing so soon.

The below are take-away nuggets to hide in your heart and reflect on as you move through each day. The simple concept of "doing good" has, for example, played a valuable role in my life recently, as I've reminded myself of the principle throughout my days and shared it with others. These principles if lived will be declared. People need to know these life truths, which are from God, and they need to see people living them. If we are not living the light, then darkness remains.

Keep it simple. Live always with and before God.

God's Grace and Mercy to you.

Carl


- God determines your days.

- Regardless as to the number of your days, do good during each day.

- Regardless as to the content of your days, be content with each day.

- Your life should contain a vast array of experiences.

- Many experiences we judge as undesirable, but God gives them to us for our benefit, for the benefit others, and for His glory.

- Live your days from His view and your view will change.

- Each moment of each day is given by God. Live in the present moment.

- Do good in the present moment. Be content with the present moment.

- The addition of each moment produces the daily and the life sum: days and a life of good and contentment.

- God knows your life situation, heart and thoughts.

- Keep honest with God each moment, each day.

- God encourages you to live a life of good with contentment, and to do so before Him. But, a time of facing your days and seeing them with His honesty and clarity will come. He has instructed humanity how to enjoy life as a gift, but understanding is given of a future judgment.

Christian, Here Is Something No One Can Take From You

Saying to God "I Love You."

How long has it been?

Friend, if you are a Christian, how long has it been since you told God that you love Him?

How long has it been since He heard that love expression from your heart with sincerity?

Why has it been so long?

No one can restrain you from telling God you love Him.

No one needs to.

You restrain yourself.
