THERE IS HOPE FOR THE LIVING Monday November 23, 2015
Text: Ecclesiastics 9:4 – 10 Memory
verse: v 4
The
most despicable living man's state is preferable to that of the most noble who
have died without repenting. This is true because such still have opportunity
to repent. Solomon exhorts the wise and pious to cheerful confide in God,
whatever maybe their condition in life. He conceded that the living have an
advantage over the dead (9:4), for the dead have no further opportunities to
secure reward for their life’s labours (9:4 – 6).
Presently,
we may be facing some challenges and we are asking, “When will all these
troubles of life end?” No matter what you may be passing through now, there is
hope for you as long as you are alive. Therefore, don’t give up your faith. Are
you suffering the consequences of sin? You can still repent, make restitution and have peace. To you that is expecting, don’t loose heart for your time is coming as long as you are
alive.
Food for Thought: Being alive means that we still have better
opportunities
Prayer: Lord, I thank you for there is still hope for me.
