Ecclesiastes 8:7-8 Waging war on death?

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

Ecclesiastes 8:7- "For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?"

Do you know what will happen to you in the future? Who can tell you? Psychics? No, not one --only God knows.

8:8 "There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it."

God judges the works of the inventive man and the snaring woman; which is the cause of man's misery. Man is rooted in his rebellion against God, that is why we are rightly judged.

Now look at having no power in the day of death. Death wages war on all mankind, and the creative, inventive man has not figured out a way to win this "death war."

The next line, neither shall wickedness deliver those that are wicked. AKA Misery loves company. We cannot escape death and wickedness is not a way out. Well, if God is going to judge us, death is imminent, and wickedness won't help - what do we do? Live a life for ourselves, go, do and don't care? That is not just no, but NO!

We turn to God, to Jesus, to the Holy Spirit - the only way to eternal life. Life as we know it will cease to exist, but a heavenly life will come into existence. As the song says, "Jesus is the answer, for the world today." From my seat, I see us at war with death; or walking with Christ. It should be an easy choice, but for many it is not. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
