Ecclesiastes 7 : 9-15
KJV

9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry:
for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.
10 Say not thou,
What is the cause that the former days were better than these?
for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.
11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance:
and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.
12 For wisdom is a defence,
and money is a defence:
but the excellency of knowledge is,
that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
13 Consider the work of God:
for who can make that straight,
which he hath made crooked?
14 In the day of prosperity be joyful,
but in the day of adversity consider:
God also hath set the one over against the other,
to the end that man should find nothing after him.
15 All things have I seen in the days of my vanity:
there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness,
and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.

   


Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We thank you that you have given us the light of life,
that we can now learn how to live,
and that through your great grace we may understand
life in direct relationship with the Lord Jesus,
who was crucified and who rose from the dead.
Grant that the power of Christ may be made visible in us.
Grant that his life may become our life,
that we may leave behind all doubts and anxiety,
even though we are often surrounded by darkness and night.
Keep us in your Word.
Let your will hold sway over all the world,
for your will must be done in heaven, on earth,
and down to the lowest depths.
Let your will be done on earth as in all the heavens.

In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
