Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem

Ecclesiastes 7

Wisdom

7  A good name is better than fine perfume,
    and the day of death better than the day of birth.

2  It is better to go to a house of mourning
    than to go to a house of feasting,
for death is the destiny of everyone;
    the living should take this to heart.

3  Frustration is better than laughter,
    because a sad face is good for the heart.

4  The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,
    but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.

5  It is better to heed the rebuke of a wise person
    than to listen to the song of fools.

6  Like the crackling of thorns under the pot,
    so is the laughter of fools.
    This too is meaningless.

7  Extortion turns a wise person into a fool,
    and a bribe corrupts the heart.

8  The end of a matter is better than its beginning,
    and patience is better than pride.

9  Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit,
    for anger resides in the lap of fools.

10  Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?”
    For it is not wise to ask such questions.

11  Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing
    and benefits those who see the sun.

12  Wisdom is a shelter

as money is a shelter,
but the advantage of knowledge is this:

Wisdom preserves those who have it.
13 Consider what God has done:

Who can straighten
    what he has made crooked?

14  When times are good, be happy;
    but when times are bad, consider this:
God has made the one
    as well as the other.
Therefore, no one can discover
    anything about their future.
15 In this meaningless life of mine I have seen both of these:

the righteous perishing in their righteousness,
    and the wicked living long in their wickedness.

16  Do not be overrighteous,
    neither be overwise—
    why destroy yourself?

17  Do not be overwicked,
    and do not be a fool—
    why die before your time?

18  It is good to grasp the one
    and not let go of the other.
    Whoever fears God will avoid all extremes.[a]

19  Wisdom makes one wise person more powerful
    than ten rulers in a city.

20  Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous,
    no one who does what is right and never sins.

21  Do not pay attention to every word people say,
    or you may hear your servant cursing you—

22  for you know in your heart
    that many times you yourself have cursed others.
23 All this I tested by wisdom and I said,

“I am determined to be wise”—
    but this was beyond me.

24  Whatever exists is far off and most profound—
    who can discover it?

25  So I turned my mind to understand,
    to investigate and to search out wisdom and the scheme of things
and to understand the stupidity of wickedness
    and the madness of folly.

26  I find more bitter than death
    the woman who is a snare,
whose heart is a trap
    and whose hands are chains.
The man who pleases God will escape her,
    but the sinner she will ensnare.
27 “Look,” says the Teacher,[b] “this is what I have discovered:

“Adding one thing to another to discover the scheme of things—
28      while I was still searching
    but not finding—
I found one upright man among a thousand,
    but not one upright woman among them all.

29  This only have I found:
    God created mankind upright,
    but they have gone in search of many schemes.”

Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem

In 1970, I was strumming along with the Moody Blues and singing these words:

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door?
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war.

It's where we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need.
In a world of persecution
That is burning in it's greed....
("Questions" by the Moody Blues 1970)

At the time, my generation thought that we were the first ones to ask these questions. We thought that we were extremely deep and philosophical to come up with this stuff. Then, of course, we grew older and heard our own children and grandchildren asking the same questions. On top of that, we read that Solomon asked the same questions 2500 years ago.

Unlike the Moody Blues, Solomon will eventually give us the Answer as this difficult Book unfolds..

I sincerely hope that the Moody Blues got it too.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

"He was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification." (Romans 4:25)

Psalm 64

To the leader. A Psalm of David.

1 Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint;
preserve my life from the dread enemy.
2 Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,
from the scheming of evildoers,
3 who whet their tongues like swords,
who aim bitter words like arrows,
4 shooting from ambush at the blameless;
they shoot suddenly and without fear.
5 They hold fast to their evil purpose;
they talk of laying snares secretly,
thinking, ‘Who can see us?
6 Who can search out our crimes?
We have thought out a cunningly conceived plot.’
For the human heart and mind are deep.

7 But God will shoot his arrow at them;
they will be wounded suddenly.
8 Because of their tongue he will bring them to ruin;
all who see them will shake with horror.
9 Then everyone will fear;
they will tell what God has brought about,
and ponder what he has done.

10 Let the righteous rejoice in the Lord
and take refuge in him.
Let all the upright in heart glory.
