Hope in Jesus Alone
“As you don’t know what is the way of the wind, nor how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child; even so you don’t know the work of God who does all. In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening don’t withhold your hand; for you don’t know which will prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both will be equally good.” (Ecclesiastes 11:5-6 WEB)
Don’t put your hope and confidence in a certain something, whether it be a project, an investment, a person, an organization.
It is true that you don’t know which will prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both will be equally good.
When we start justifying with our mind and natural reasoning to support why something will surely work out, it is dangerous. The Book of Proverbs says that there is a way that seems right to a man, but it is a way that leads to death.
When that thing you are hoping in falls apart, you will be crushed if you placed all your hope and confidence in it. It is unwise to trust in temporal, visible things in this fallen world.
Let us put all our hope and confidence in the Lord Jesus. He is the eternal one that we can trust.
We do not know the way God works and many times, we have to just be okay with not knowing. Just believe that He is working on your situation.
When we have faith in Jesus, we will not be trusting in the individual methods. Our confidence will be in the one who blesses the work of our hands, and who gives us favor in the way that we go. No matter what He places His favor on, that is what will prosper. Be wise and keep your hope only in Him!
Keep studying God’s word and growing in your understanding of His ways. Our Patreon community is currently on a Bible study series called “My Faith Declarations” which looks at the Spirit-inspired utterances of the authors of the Psalms. They wrote about the trials and tribulations they experienced, so the book of Psalms is very relatable.
By turning their faith declarations into our own, we can learn how to overcome similar circumstances in life through faith in the Lord! Become a “God Every Morning” tier or above patron on Patreon to receive this reward, daily devotionals by email, and also all my eBooks.
