Ecclesiastes 7:8-10 Patient, even tempered?

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

Ecclesiastes 7:8 KJV "Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit."

Ecclesiastes 7:8-10 Life App Bible "Finishing is better than starting. Patience is better than pride. (9)Control your temper, for anger labels you a fool. (10) Don't long for 'the good old days. This is not wise."

To finish what we start takes hard work, wisdom, and self-discipline and patience. Anyone with vision can start a big project. But vision without wisdom will result in unfinished projects and goals.

A true appraisal of any enterprise can only be made from the point of its completion, the end is better than the beginning. The end, often, is arrived at very slowly and the man who would find profit in this life must be a patient man.

He must faithfully resist any and all desire to pride and anger. He must not fall to idealizing the good old days; for such an attitude will greatly slow or stop his effectiveness in the present. Profit can only be found by those who are truly alive to the present.

So, are you patient, even tempered, see things through to the end and live in the present? Many times it is tough, but we all are looking for the end result. Life in Christ is not always a cakewalk, but the profit in the end, eternal life, is worth being patient for. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
