Ecclesiastes 1:1-7 - As the World Turns!

1The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
      2“Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher,  “Vanity of vanities! All is vanity.”
      3What advantage does man have in all his work, Which he does under the sun?
      4A generation goes and a generation comes, But the earth remains forever.
      5Also, the sun rises and the sun sets; And hastening to its place it rises there again.
      6Blowing toward the south,
            Then turning toward the north, The wind continues swirling along; And on its circular courses the wind returns.
      7All the rivers flow into the sea,
            Yet the sea is not full.
            To the place where the rivers flow, There they flow again.

As the World Turns, sounds like a soap opera! We scratch our way through life, and a generation passes and a new generation comes along. The sun continues to rise and set, the wind continues to blow south then north and the rivers continue to flow.

As I sit here a storm rages, we received a foot & a half of snow yesterday and I spent several hours using a shovel, a snowblower and a plow. The second half of this storm is raging wind with sleet. 
I work and toil as the generation before me and as the generation after me. Life is hard!

But you don’t have to walk it alone. Jesus will carry you through it. Allow Him to shepherd you through life, let Him be your guiding light!
As the world turns, He will never leave you.


Blessings, David
