The proper attitude  for us is the fear of the Lord, which is not he cringing of a slave before a cruel master, but the submission of an  obedient son or daughter. If we revere God, we need not fear anything else, for He is in control.

Ecclesiastes 3 Verse 14: “I know that all God does will last forever; there is no adding to it or taking from it”.

When we turn and look at Ecclesiastes 3 verse 14, it seems to suggest that nothing people do really does matter. 

Ultimately, God’s will is going to be done, and if nothing can be added, or taken away from His work, then why should we attempt to do anything? Why not just wait for God to do everything? That perspective forgets what Jesus said on the cross, “It is Finished”.

God has now chosen to do things, through His New Creations, those who accept His redemptive work of the cross. Those who come to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savor, become agents of God’s power and purposes. We are not just puppets who mindlessly jump to commands. God calls us to an intimate partnership with Him {Corinthians 1 verse 5 to 7}

Given this reality, we can now read Ecclesiastes 3 verse 14, as an invitation for us to link our goals, our dreams, and our skills to God’s great design.

Solomon is not encouraging pagan ritual but rather the practice of enjoying God’s gifts as the fruit of one’s labor, no matter how difficult life may be. Life appears to be transitory, but whatever God does it is forever.

The sky’s the limit or the visual limit we can see, when we have Our Creator God Our Lord and Our Friend to be our mentor, our guide and our source of Real Life.

He loves you and He created you for destiny.

God Bless.
