It certainly has its fair share of quotable lines. One of my favorites:
"For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven" - Ecclesiastes 3:1
I am not a follower of Abrahamic religions, but I do my studies into their literature from time to time. I'd consider myself a philosopher more than anything else really.

maui boy no ka oi It certainly has its fair share of quotable lines. One of my favorites: "For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven" - Ecclesiastes 3:1 I am not a follower of Abrahamic religions, but I do my studies into their literature from time to time. I'd consider myself a philosopher more than anything else really. Thank you! This reminded me of a song I was able to add to my list for that verse, "For Everything, Turn turn turn" which I have long enjoyed. emotion_hug

God's gifts today: church was awesome. Vicki told me how much she enjoyed my being liturgist. I love reading aloud from the Bible!
My kid and I talked for a while - things are going well for her at college as she prepares to start the new semester.
Dinner with my parents was wonderful, except I forgot it was the day before Dad's birthday, so no card. BUT they forgot to get him an apple pie, so Wednesday we celebrate!!

For use at my next share group meeting:
Wisdom Hunters Devotion for August 22: Our former days do not have to be our best days, we can trust the Lord that the best is yet to be!
By Shana Schutte
But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit. Jeremiah 17:7-8
For many people, living in the past is their biggest challenge. They idealize days gone by and wish for something that was, believing that if they could just go back life would be better than today.
But God reminds us in Ecclesiastes 7:10. . . “Do not say, ‘Why were the old days better than these?’ For it is not wise to ask such questions.”
It is not wise because looking back in regret chokes the life out of your days, which are finite. Once each minute clicks past on the clock, it is gone forever, never to be recovered. It’s not wise because it steals your joy. It’s not wise because it hinders your service to Christ. And it’s not wise because it’s not the truth. Every moment of every day is a mixture of good and bad, blessings and things that wound.
But what is true, is that God is working in the present. As some say, he is the God “I Am” not “I Was.” He is always moving forward in new work and blessing us in the moments we have right now.
“Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life” (Psalm 143:8 ).
Application
If you know there is something from the past that you need to release and trust the Lord with, talk with Him about it and tell Him you want to live fully in the present.

Heard a powerful message based on a verse in 1st Peter about how we need to give our anxieties to God, lay them at His feet, and turn them over to Jesus so we can be free of them, ready for hope and love He wants to pour into us. heart

When tragedy like the Las Vegas shooting strikes, it is good to remember:
God is our refuge and strength, a help always near in times of great trouble.
Psalm 46:1
and
Jesus said to them, “I assure you that anyone who has left house, husband, wife, brothers, sisters, parents, or children because of God’s kingdom 30 will receive many times more in this age and eternal life in the coming age.”
Luke 18:29

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.
