In Light of the Recent Election

I've taken some time since the presidential election to read and re-read passages in Ecclesiastes. It sorta sums things up.

Eccl. 1:4 "Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever."

Eccl 1:9 "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun."

Eccl. 3:1 "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:"

Eccl. 3:14 "I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him."

Eccl. 12:13 "Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man."

Eccl. 12:14 "For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil."


Other passages that were great reminders to me this past week . . .


Ps. 118:8 "It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man."

Isaiah 26:3, 4 "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal."

Ps. 31:24 "Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord."

James 5:7a "Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord's coming."


God's Word is so jam-packed with encouragement! This is obviously just a taste. :) Finding a bit of encouragement in verses like these is something I need and look forward to on a regular basis.
