Firmly Embedded!

Ecclesiastes 12: 11

The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails—given by one Shepherd.

Wisdom is something that comes, as we each live life day by day.

The writer of Ecclesiastes refers to wisdom as… “firmly embedded nails”.

I spoke the other day to an elderly man in a care facility, and we just talked about life in general in America.

He has seen over time, the changing winds that blow in this country.

I asked him why he thought our culture was in the fix it seems to be in, and he said… “Men have completely forgotten God”.

His words confirmed to me, that when we fail to recognize His presence, all things under the sun, become the order of the day.

So often people forget the times when God was faithful and oh so true.

We begin to forget God, and forget to trust in His provision.

Would you prayerfully consider these three embedded nails, as you go about your day?

·         Remember what it’s like to fully worship God in all you do…

·         Get to know Him again, by opening up your Bible…

·         Make a list of things you remember God doing in your life, over the span of time…

When we begin to meditate on the things God has done, we begin to remember His kindness, and we’ll also begin to trust in Him again.

Don’t forget to start this week by giving God thanks, for the awesome things He has done.

Actually, why not start your week by thanking Him for the free gift of Salvation
