ECCLESIASTES IS WRITTEN BY SOLOMON AND IT HELPS US TO DEAL WITH EVERY DAY LIFE. IT HELPS US TO ENJOY LIFE TO THE FULLEST.
Ecclesiastes 9:1 For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them (THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT COMES NEXT).
YOU ARE IN A GOOD SHAPE IF HE IS IN YOU. BUT YOU ARE IN TROUBLE IF HE IS NOT.
9:2 All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth and oath.
GOOD OR BAD THE FLESH IS GOING TO DIE.
9:3 This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.
THE FLESH DIES... LOOK FORWARD TO ETERNITY BECAUSE THAT'S YOUR REAL HOME.
9:4 For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
AS LONG AS YOU ARE ALIVE THERE IS HOPE FOR REPENTANCE.
WHEN THE LION DIES HE IS NOT THE KING OF THE JUNGLE ANYMORE.
9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything, neither have they anymore a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
THE FLESH WON'T BE REMEMBERED. YOU STEP INTO THIS BEAUTIFUL SPIRITUAL BODY. THE SPIRITUAL SELF IS THE MEMORY.
9:6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they anymore a portion forever in anything that is done under the sun.
WHEN YOU DIE THERE IS NO MORE REWARD...IT'S ALL IN THE BOOK OF LIFE.
9:7 Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.
ENJOY YOUR LIFE.
9:8 Let thy garments be always white (PURE); and let thy head lack no ointment.
WE ALL FALL SHORT...DO THE BEST YOU CAN TO STAY PURE.
9:9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which He hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labor which thou takest under the sun.
THE GREATEST GIFT IN THE FLESH HE CAN GIVE YOU IS A GOOD SPOUSE.
9:10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
ENJOY YOUR LIFE AND DO THE BEST YOU CAN TO IMPROVE YOURSELF...DO IT WHILE YOU ARE ABLE, AND HAVE TIME TO DO IT.
9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
9:12 For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO DIE BUT YOU WILL...FLESH DIES.
9:13 This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed great unto me:
WISDOM COMES FROM GOD.
9:14 There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:
9:15 Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.
NO ONE SEEMED TO APPRECIATE HIM, BUT GOD GOD DID NOT FORGET HIM.
9:16 Then said I, 'Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.'
9:17 The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.
IT IS FAR BETTER TO PLEASE GOD THAN TO PLEASE MEN.
9:18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war (GOD'S WISDOM. PROVERBS 1:7): but one sinner destroyeth much good.
YOU NEED TO USE GOD'S WISDOM TO DISCERN GOOD FROM BAD. A SINNER CAN CAUSE YOU TO GO DOWNHILL IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL.
GOD BLESS
