- So . . . I'm "feeding myself" in the morning from God's Word and thought I'd post what I'm chewin' on and make my "food" available for others who might want to nibble a bit. Hope it's of some benefit to you . . .
The word of God is living and active . . . (Hebrews 4:12)

Beyond the Sun
He had done life both ways–pursuing wisdom and going after folly. He was a thinker, knowing that life was meant to be lived and that there were different ways to live it. And he had the smarts to devise experiments … Continue reading

Ransomed from the Vapors
Vapor of vapors . . . all of it is vapor. As the Preacher draws his musings to an end in Ecclesiastes he can’t shake the overall futility he feels as he nears the end of his race (Eccl. 12:8). … Continue reading

Let Your Words Be Few
It would seem that for the Preacher not an area of life was exempt from frustration if lived out but “under the sun.” He had sought wisdom, he had worked hard. He had held back no desire which his heart … Continue reading

Real Enjoyment
I’m guessing that even the newest reader of Ecclesiastes picks up on the underlying heartbeat of “the Preacher’s” (1:1) words pretty quickly. I’m only two chapters in and the pulse is already established. Eleven times, so far, the son of … Continue reading

Getting Above “Under the Sun”
So, I’m thinking that King Solomon might have been a little too smart for his own good. He may have over thought things a tad. I’m suspecting this guy was a bit “type A” . . . a little anal-retentive. … Continue reading

The book of Ecclesiastes lacks color . . . literally. I have my colored pencils (aka “pencil crayons” for those of us north of the border) at the ready looking for the grand themes of Scripture to highlight . . … Continue reading

Tomorrow
So, this is how it played out this morning. First, don’t set your alarm the night before and you end up getting up a little later than usual. Rats! Second, work your way through the morning readings. Be a bit … Continue reading

When Wisdom Goes Bad
Kind of an interesting transition going from reading in Proverbs for almost the past two months to starting up in Ecclesiastes. Same author . . . but something’s not quite right. For the past 7 or 8 weeks I have … Continue reading
