Today’s Thought “Luxury Over Compact…” G. Ward  

Ecclesiastes 7

⁸ The end of a matter is better than its beginning; Patience of spirit is better than arrogance of spirit.

 

Absolute spiritual dependence on our Lord in everything is the daily goal for the believer and while there’s periodic lapse, meditations of HIS Word has been graciously implanted in the believer’s soul to bring us back to best directives (*John 14:26). Our journey (in earth) provided, builds on that to which ultimately satisfies, to never forget such temporal pleasures and devices so exhausting (cf. John 14:27) and whereas the “Rest” our Lord provides as HE builds us (Phil.1:6), keeps establishing peace furthered, this surrender becomes easier/greater (1 John 5:3), therefore recognizing a beginning  with numerous pitfalls, that often obscured travelling mercies – but have now become cruising in a 60’s model – “deuce and a quarter” (i.e., A Buick Electra 225).
