Oh Holy God,
Thank You. It was a rough
night. Seemed like an eternity. Made me think of... eternity.
(6:55 a.m.)
Mm, yes. Father, thank You!
Ecclesiastes 3:11. I
absolutely do not claim to understand the meaning of this verse. Yet
it rang out to me this morning. “... He has planted eternity in the
human heart...”
Amplified Bible
translates it this way, “God
Set Eternity in the Heart of Man
He has made everything beautiful and
appropriate in its time. He has also planted eternity [a sense of
divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which
nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God] – yet man cannot
find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan)
from the beginning to the end.”
Yep.
That's pretty much the way I felt last night. In the dark. Not
understanding. And choosing to trust that You are behind it all.
Illustrated
Bible Handbook
states, “Life's
cycles do not reveal meaning: 3:1-15.
Life is organized in a pattern of repeated cycles. Yet observation of
the cycles does not lead to an understanding of beginnings or
endings. Only a grasp of origins or destiny might reveal life
meaning.”
I
tend to replay incidents, trying to figure out how things could be
made different. Continue Your work in teaching me to “Be still, and
know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). To truly trust You in all
things.
Today
is supposed to be hot again. REALLY, really hot. I am asking You to
use me to Your good and to Your glory. I love You. I long to serve
You. And I thank You. Amen.
