Ecclesiastes 8;2-3 What do you stand for? Evil or God?

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

Ecclesiastes 8:2-3 "Obey the king since you vowed to God that you would. Don't try to avoid doing your duty and don't stand with those who plot evil, for the king can do whatever he wants."

Wow! Powerful words. Obey! Why? You vowed to God. What stronger argument than a vow to God? When we make a vow we should stand behind it; like a prayer. How do you pray at meals? Heartfelt prayer or vow to God or a let's get it over I'm hungry prayer. Like - "Good God, good food, let's eat." Come on, what is that. Just like the people that come to early church to "get it over with." What kind of vow is that?

Do your duty and don't stand with those who plot evil. If you don't stand up for God. If you are passive, remain mute, walk away - then you are standing up for evil. Oh, no, not me! Well, do you stand up for God? Or do you shut up for God? Stand up - that is your vow. Oh, yes, we may do as Peter and deny or welcome evil in. But then what did Peter do? He realized his error and became the "Rock" God intended for him to be.

You, yes you, go out and be the ROCK that GOD wants you to be. Stand up for God, Jesus, Holy Spirit. Will you be persecuted? Probably, but is it worth it? Eternity with God - or Hell with Satan? By the way, stop drop and roll does not work in hell. Think about these words in print. I just pray that God has been the leading one in this writing and it not be my words that touch your heart but God's. Thank you for reading. Rebuttals or comments are welcome.

In Christ's Love and Grace
