September 28: Ecclesiastes 3:14-15

KJV Key Verse: Ecclesiastes 3:14
14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth , it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

Devotion:
The more we advance in science and technology, the more we think that we know everything... but in reality, it is the opposite because the more we learn, the more we figure out that there is even more to learn! Everything is as God made it and not as we think it is – we are still learning about everything!

We care so much about things, worldly things, in our lives that we don't have time to put aside for God, for spiritual things. Our time is taken up in pursuits of knowledge and earthly riches rather than the truth about God. Not only has the world taken over our time and thoughts, but it encourages us to think against God. We forget just how little we are in comparison to the big picture of God.

Everything God has done is forever. This does not mean this world is going to last forever – it means that He started a process whereby He created the world and when the time comes He will destroy it... And nothing we do or say is going to change that plan. We cannot tell how long His plan is, nor when things will end. We just have to be ready and waiting for the right time. We cannot change God's plan by trying to destroy the planet before He gets here, nor can we extend our stay by making things perfect in our sight.

God has given us everything in front of us so we can see He alone has a master plan and He alone is our designer and creator. He wants us to know this and to acknowledge this so we can get to know Him and know we can have a life eternal with Him. We just have to know that He is behind it all and say “yes, I believe”.

Points to Ponder:
Who do you look at as the greatest inventory that has lived on earth?

How can all the inventors works ever compare to our own DNA that God made?
