An Ecclesiastes Kind of Mood

     Ever get in an Ecclesiastes kind of mood? This is how it begins and ends.
    "Meaningless! Meaningless!...Everything is meaningless!"..."Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: fear God & keeps His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing whether it is good or evil."
     Sometimes we get stuck in the beginning and never get to the end. It can be that way with many passages. You've heard, "read the last chapter, we win!" If we don't complete the thought we end up in a place God never intended. What happens if we stop at Romans 7..."What a wretched man I am!"? We never get to the therefore..."therefore there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."
     It seems to be easy for me to have bad days. Hey, bad days are Biblical. But they don't havta end that way. The amazing thing about the Psalms is how David so many times begins with whining and complaining and ends in worship. Just like David, we should end our day, begin it too, in worship to God.
     How great is our God, sing with me how great is our God and all will see, how great, how great is our God.
     God doesn't want me stay stuck. If anyone does, it's...me?
