Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
The Book of Proverbs
(Ecclesiastes 1)
Wisdom Is Meaningless
12 I, the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem. 13 I applied my mind to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under the heavens. What a heavy burden God has laid on mankind! 14 I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
15 What is crooked cannot be straightened;
what is lacking cannot be counted.
16 I said to myself, Look, I have increased in wisdom more than anyone who has ruled over Jerusalem before me; I have experienced much of wisdom and knowledge. 17 Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom, and also of madness and folly, but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind.
18 For with much wisdom comes much sorrow;
the more knowledge, the more grief.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
One of the books many of us read back in the 1960's was "Siddhartha" by Herman Hesse. It chronicled the journey of a man who was searching for the meaning of life. We 60's teens gobbled up that book and some actually turned to Eastern Religions in their search for meaning. George Lucas reinforced that atmosphere in his first Star Wars movie in the late 70's, which gave mystical properties to the qualities of "good vs evil", "life vs. death" and other opposites. He called this "The Force" and based it upon the "Yin/Yang" duality of Buddhism. I think it is safe to say that all people struggle with these paradoxes, and King Solomon was no exception. Like the Wise old king said "There is nothing new under the sun."
Although Solomon has had everything he could ever desire and more, he still counts this struggle as a burden. While his musings may make us uncomfortable, one has to admit that all people struggle with these thoughts. Perhaps the very comfort of not having to use every moment of life struggling to SURVIVE gives us time to struggle with the infinite! Yet, even in the caves of Stone-Age Man, there are drawings and paintings that hint at the human quest for Eternity. And, it has been noted that the ancient graves of primitive people contain flowers and amulets in anticipation of the hereafter.
So, don't get "bummed out" by Solomon's musings. They are in the Bible for a REASON!
Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

Doing the Opposite
October 10, 2016
For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
Colossians 3:3
A wilderness excursion can seem daunting, but for outdoor enthusiasts this only adds to the appeal. Because hikers need more water than they can carry, they purchase bottles with built-in filters so they can use water sources along the way. But the process of drinking from such a container is counterintuitive. Tipping the bottle does nothing. A thirsty hiker has to blow into it to force the water through the filter. Reality is contrary to what seems natural.
As we follow Jesus, we find much that is counterintuitive. Paul pointed out one example: Keeping rules wont draw us closer to God. He asked, Why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!? These rules . . . are based on merely human commands and teachings (Col. 2:2022).
So what are we to do? Paul gave the answer. Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above (3:1). You died, he told people who were still very much alive, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God (v. 3).
We are to consider ourselves dead to the values of this world and alive to Christ. We now aspire to a way of life demonstrated by the One who said, Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant (Matt. 20:26).
Consider what these counterintuitive principles from the Bible might mean for you: Whoever loses their life for me will find it (Matt. 16:25). The last will be first, and the first will be last (Matt. 20:16). When I am weak, then I am strong (2 Cor. 12:10).
God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise. 1 Corinthians 1:27
In Colossae a false teaching known as gnosticism circulated. It promoted the idea that matter is evil and spirit is good, rejecting Jesus Christs full humanity as well as His complete divinity. To correct this, Paul wrote: For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form (Col. 2:9). An equally destructive heresy in the spiritual life of the Colossian believers was legalism. This can be summed up as placating the gods or God by following a set of rules for behavior. The believers in Colossae fell into the trap of applying legalism to their Christian walk. Pauls correction of legalism was logical: He argued that to experience redemption in Christ means that we die to man-made religions of this world and gain spiritual life in Him.

When I read
For with much wisdom comes much sorrow;
the more knowledge, the more grief.
It kind of gives meaning to the phrase: Ignorance is bliss. ;)
Joining in prayer, left that other site, for Israel, our beloved America, and all God’s people.

PRAYERS ASCENDING ON HIGH FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM! And for the Preservation of the Valiant Israeli Nation!

THE Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13 And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.
14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit. |
15 That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
16 I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.
17 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
