Ecclesiastes 11:5-10 5 As you do not know what is the way of the wind,[a] Or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, So you do not know the works of God who makes everything. 6 In the morning sow your seed, And in the evening do not withhold your hand; For you do not know which will prosper, Either this or that, Or whether both alike will be good.7 Truly the light is sweet, And it is pleasant for the eyes to behold the sun; 8 But if a man lives many years And rejoices in them all, Yet let him remember the days of darkness, For they will be many. All that is coming is vanity. 9 Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, And let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth; Walk in the ways of your heart, And in the sight of your eyes; But know that for all these God will bring you into judgment. 10 Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, And put away evil from your flesh, For childhood and youth are vanity.
SOAP – Ecclesiastes 11:8 Solomon tells us not to take a single day for granted, because there will be always some sad days in our future. Believers are thankful people, for we realize how much we have been given by God. Our gratitude helps us to remember that God is in control. Our gratitude reminds us that we belong to God and that we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing. Every day of our lives that we are given is a gift from God and an opportunity to pour out love to those in need.
