And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the
good of all his labour, it is a gift of God. I know that whatsoever God doeth,
it shall be forever nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it, that
men should fear before him. (Ecclesiastes 3: 13-14)
I love our God. At the beginning of this lovely chapter the
Lord clearly points out the need to take note of the fact that, “To
every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven”. As
you read through the verses you discover different illustrations of various
seasons. The key to improvement is tied closely to understanding what season
you are in and applying the right wisdom per time. God cares so much for us His
children. The Lord desires that 'every man' not 'some men' should eat and drink.
God is also a God of balance. As you work it is expected that your work should
be blessed enough to take care of your feeding needs.
“And enjoy the good of
all his labour“. Do
you realize that for every effort you make, you may not get the desired results
sometimes because life is full of learning processes? We all make mistakes at
some points in our lives but we must learn from those mistakes and move on. As
much as we may not have mastered all the principles that govern every area of
life, the Lord’s desire for us His children is that we enjoy the good of our labour and not the bad of
our labour. So as we all make effort in our various areas of endeavor it is
the Lord’s desire that He will bless the work of our hands. Therefore whenever
you feel like the work of your hands is not giving you the desired result, just
call on the Lord, remind Him of the promises in His word, believe and patiently
wait for Him to turn things around in your favour.
Note that discouragement, doubts, fear and other negatives
hang around life’s way but we must stay courageous and full of faith if we are
to make it. God’s word is ever true. He has declared that we will enjoy the
good of all his labour, it is a gift of
God. It is a gift of God truly because whatsoever a man sows that shall he
also reap. As long as the earth remains, seed time and harvest will not cease.
(Genesis 8:22).
“I know that whatsoever God doeth, it shall be forever nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it, that men should fear before him.” This verse is truly reassuring to know this attribute of our God. If God does a thing it is evident. The blessing of God makes rich and adds no sorrow to it. What God does is forever. That speaks of permanence. God’s work is full of beauty and it must bring glory to Him always. He has said that what He does is perfect and that nothing can be added or taken to it. For instance, it is God that gives conception. No man can add or take away anything from that. When you look up to the sky you see the clouds arranged in splendor. The rain falls, the sun shines and no man can take glory for that.
Truly the evidence of the awesomeness of our God is undeniable to say the least. Walk in this confidence daily that you will eat the good of your labour eventually. As sure as the dawning of a new day is so also are the promises of our God. Dear Lord show us favour daily.
