Personal Story Of The Day
We Can LearnHow many years have you lost to the locust? Have self-indulgence, sensuality, sinful motives, and personal ambition robbed you of joy, peace, and fruitfulness? Perhaps you feel discouraged when you think of all the time that seems to have been wasted, never to be reclaimed.
If so, consider the words of the Lord through the prophet Joel. God told the people of Israel that even though they had been disobedient to Him and had been disciplined through a plague of locusts, there was still hope.
The Lord said that He is "gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness" (Joel 2:13). Then He promised, "I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten" (v25). When we confess our sin to the Lord, He is quick to forgive our past and fill our future with hope. He can bring good out of our wasted years. He does that by teaching us humility through our failures, and by helping us to understand the weaknesses we have in common with others.
Although our previous years may have been troubled by sin, God is eager to restore us and give us much fruit from our labour. What we have learned from the past can now result in productive service for Him and heartfelt praise to Him. The year ahead is filled with hope!

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Good Advice Remains The Best Advice
...Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiastes 12:...13. References from Ecclesiastes 12:13,14.
King David was about to die. It was time to charge his son, Solomon, with the responsibility of leading his people, God's people, as their new king. He said to Solomon, 'be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man; And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:' (1 Kings 2:2,3).
Perhaps Solomon should have written that down before testing out everything under the sun! Because the conclusion of the matter in today's verses (v13) bears a strong resemblance to the words Solomon received early in life. After all he went through, all the wisdom and experience of the world had only substantiated what he was told at the beginning.
Solomon learned the hard way that David's advice was exceedingly wise.
We don't have to make the same mistake, so let's continue learning from the words of Ecclesiastes. Verse 13 is a big statement that we need to understand fully: 'Fear God and keep His commandments.' That is our duty in its entirety. At the very least, utmost obedience and respect is expected of us. But the wording is still a bit detached. Fear, obey, duty... these are all good words for us to keep in mind, but we are more than God's military battalion. Where does love fit into this picture?
Actually, His most important commandments to us are to 'love Him and to love each other' (Mark 12:29-31)! So love and obedience are part of the same principle. Remember, Jesus called His disciples more than just servants... 'we are His friends because we share in His business.' (John 15:15). The final verse of this book is a stern warning for every person. God will hold us accountable for our actions.
Nothing is hidden from His sight. How fitting that the conclusion of the matter in Ecclesiastes, has an eye for what is yet to come, God's final judgment after our days under the sun are finished.
My Ways, Your Ways, or HIS WAYS?
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. Proverbs 3:7
We all have our own problems. But how many times have you come across someone that 'knew it all'? They could tell you just how much they knew, and make it appear that they held the 'truth' to everything. Your opinions were always wrong, and there was nothing you could do to convince them otherwise. These people may mean well, but they don't hold the last word on any subject.
The Word tells us that the Lord's thoughts are not our thoughts, and our ways are not His ways.
We sometimes get too wise in our own eyes, and it's not really the spirit of the Lord in which we tell others the things we think to be correct. Others may view our 'beliefs' as wrong, but that doesn't make theirs right. Each of us has the responsibility of walking our own walk. We can't do it for someone else, and we shouldn't feel like we have the 'last word' on anything. To appear to be a 'know-it-all' to others, only hampers our use in the Kingdom of God. It turns others away from wanting to listen to what we have to say.
Working hand in hand with a brother achieves much more than spiritual advice that is not supported with deeds. Good advice ends with blessing... no one will argue with that!
