Ecclesiastes 7:1 What is that odor? Your reputation or perfume?

Good morning everyone. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

Thoughts for today: Don't let yesterday take up too much of your time today.

God's salvation does not have a rear view mirror. Quit looking back.

Ecclesiates 7:1 "A good reputation is more valuable than costly perfume. And the day you die is better than the day your are born."

Chapter 6 closed with the question of who knows what is good for man in this life. Chapter 7 opens with the answer.

A good reputation - you the moral man - is more valuable than possessions (costly perfume). We all celebrate the birth of a child and mourn the lost of someone. Should this not be the reverse? A child comes into this world, born in sin and uncertainty. Will he or she walk with the LORD? But upon death, for the believers, the saved in Christ, we should celebrate because we are going home.

Sounds like misguided thoughts or disturbed thinking; however, think about it for a few moments. My question: do you have a good reputation? are you comfortable with death? Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
