9: What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?

11: He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
12: I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.

22: Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

May Today Bring Blessings And Wisdom
Thanks and praise to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Proverbs 3:5,6 says 5.Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6: In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. This goes alone with Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
There are many things each and every day that I do not understand but I do know that it is the will of God that I go through what I do in order to become closer to Him. That is what Christ wants. To be close to us because we are His children. He loves all of His children. If He did not love us then He would not correct us as our parents did when we where young.
Let us pray for the blessing of wisdom for happy is the man that finds her.
Proverbs3:1-35
1: My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
2: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3: Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
4: So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

9: Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
10: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
11: My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
12: For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
13: Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14: For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15: She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
16: Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
17: Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
18: She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
19: The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
20: By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
21: My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22: So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
23: Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
24: When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
25: Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
26: For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
27: Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
28: Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
29: Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
30: Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
31: Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
32: For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.
33: The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
34: Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
35: The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.

Vanity Of Vanities
Thanks and praise to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Ecclesiastes
1:1: The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
2: Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
1:14: I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
2:11: Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.
2:24: There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.
3:1: To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
5:10: He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.
5:19: Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
7:20: For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
8:17: Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.
9:16: Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.
17: The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.
10:11: Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
11:10: Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.
12:13: Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14: For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
