Ecclesiastes 9:17 The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded than the shouts of a ruler of fools.

We seem to live in a world where the person with the greatest outreach in social media or the greatest publicity is seen as the wisest…

This is far from the fact! Wise people do not always publicise themselves in order to gain popularity – wise people do what is right and don’t look for public adoration!

Jesus came to do what was right and He did it without trying to gather the biggest crowds and make Himself known; instead, He just continued to do what His father guided Him to do...

Ecclesiastes 9:12 Moreover, no one knows when their hour will come: As fish are caught in a cruel net, or birds are taken in a snare, so people are trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them.

Don’t blame God! We live in a world which has so many things wrong it it and people looks for someone to blame rather than accepting what is going to happen.

Does this mean we just sit back and wait for things to go wrong? Certainly not. We must step up and strive to make this world a better place.

But when something like an earthquake happens, we must accept it has happened because this is the way of the world and try to make the best of a bad situation.

Exodus 24:11 But God did not raise his hand against these leaders of the Israelites; they saw God, and they ate and drank.

Even though we do go off and do our own thing, God is not going to turn His back on us. He may spend far too much time chasing after us and not just being with us… but He never gives up!

We may think we have gone too far and how we are not worthy enough any more, but God is still there and will still make Himself known to us.

God never gives up on us; His faithfulness is everlasting!
