March 15, 2026, Ecclesiastes 9:1-6
9 But all this I laid to heart, examining it all, how
the righteous and the wise and their deeds are in the hand of God. Whether
it is love or hate, man does not know; both are before him. 2 It
is the same for all, since the same event happens to the righteous and the
wicked, to the good and the evil, to the clean and the unclean, to him who
sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice. As the good one is, so is the
sinner, and he who swears is as he who shuns an oath. 3 This
is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that the same event happens
to all. Also, the hearts of the children of man are full of evil,
and madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to
the dead. 4 But he who is joined with all the
living has hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion. 5 For
the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they
have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. 6 Their
love and their hate and their envy have already perished, and forever they have
no more share in all that is done under the sun.
We can
know that God holds our future, but how often do you trust Him?
Do you,
like me, have to give it back over and over again?
To trust
Him, is to give it to Him, without reservation, knowing He will do what is best
for His glory. How often I want Him to
do what is best for me and my family, but I know His way is best.
