Today’s Reading

6/27/2019      Day 177 Ecclesiastes 3:1 – 5:20 

Reflection |
Today -  Ecclesiastes 
Chapter 3 - For everything there is a season - Song
There is a time of life for the 28 activities it states.
There is one fate for all - final judgement.
Chapter 4 - Oppression - Labor and relations - people
even rulers will come and go; no one will remember them.
Chapter 5 - Watch your words and deeds; serve the Lord!
Disconnection between conditions of life and enjoyment.
Enjoy the things that God has given you and rejoice. God
will keep them occupied in joy of their hearts
(NOAB 5, 2018 a.d.)

Let us confess our sins to God.

God of all mercy, we confess that you have sinned against you,
opposing your will in our lives. We have denied your goodness in
each other, in ourselves, and in the world you have created. We repent
of the evil that enslaves us, the evil we have done, and the evil
done on our behalf. Forgive, restore, and strengthen us through
Our Savior Jesus Christ, that we may abide in your love and serve
only your will.

Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through
the grace of Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the
Power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen
