ANGLICAN DAILY FOUNTAIN 10 NOVEMBER 221 WEDNESDAY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: LIFE IS GIVEN FOR A PURPOSE

TEXT: Ecclesiastes 8:10-17(NKJV)
10. Then I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of holiness, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done. This also [is] vanity.
11. Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
12. Though a sinner does evil a hundred [times,] and his [days] are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him.
13. But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong [his] days, [which are] as a shadow, because he does not fear before God.

14. There is a vanity which occurs on earth, that there are just [men] to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked [men] to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also [is] vanity.
15. So I commended enjoyment, because a man has nothing better under the sun than to eat, drink, and be merry; for this will remain with him in his labor [all] the days of his life which God gives him under the sun.
16. When I applied my heart to know wisdom and to see the business that is done on earth, even though one sees no sleep day or night,
17. then I saw all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun. For though a man labors to discover [it,] yet he will not find [it;] moreover, though a wise [man] attempts to know [it,] he will not be able to find [it.]

Anglican Daily Fountain 10 November 2021 | STUDY:

This scripture today calls to mind that all men are given equal opportunities by God to function on earth. What we do with this life will determine whether we succeed or not. God has given us our lives as His gift to us and what we do with our life is our gift to God. Know this “The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill but time and chance happens to them all.” Verse 10 says “whatsoever your hands find to do, do it with thy might. ”

This is because life offers us opportunities to live out our purposes within a time lag of life; there is a tenure for living and God does not keep anyone alive without a purpose. There is need therefore, to understand our purpose for being alive and fulfil it, lest we waste the opportunities given us to fulfil destiny. We must understand that death is a common destiny which comes to all men and we must make a commitment not to die until we have fulfilled destiny. Remember that as we live out our purpose on earth, our garments must be white and our head must not lack ointment (v.8).

Prayer: Dear Father, thank you because You are just and will certainly reward our confidence in You.
