6 ​​​​​​​​Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. 7 ​​​​​​​​Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, 8 ​​​​​​​​she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest...30:25 ​​​​​​​​the ants are a people not strong, yet they provide their food in the summer (Proverbs 6:6-8, 30:25)

MLK- Viergelie's Post



Wisdom literature touches on all issues that explore the meaning of life. God understands things that man is incapable of of understanding. In First Corinthians 1:25, Paul said, "Because the foolishness of God is wiser than man, and the weakness of God is stronger than men." Martin Luther King Jr. remains the single most powerful determinant in the American Civil Right Movement. His basic message was a simple one: "To my children... for whom I dream that one day soon they will no longer be judged by the color of of their skin but by the content of their character.
Martin Luther King's wisdom helped him to win the victory he believed that right behavior leads to right consequences. He was a wise man who made a difference . Proverbs 8:17 says to seek wisdom diligently. In the book of David, it says loving wisdom involves discipline of the heart. Now a days, we credit others for being wise but a wise person is the one who fear God and trust in Him no matter what. How wise are you if you don't fear God. In the book of John, it says that the word becomes flesh. One needs to chew the word of God well and must let it dwell in you for the purpose of the word becoming a part of you. In Proverbs 13:10 it says, "Where there is strife, there is pride, but wisdom is found in those who take advice." Martin Luther King had such a hope to see all people no judged by the external. He knew that it was better to humble. He marched in peace. He didn't want violence and was always for peace. Proverbs says that listening to wisdom is to live or gain an abundant life. As wise Christians, He obeyed the wisdom of God because of that, he succeeded.

To Live Doesnt Mean Your Alive!!!



Ecclesiastes 7:14-15

When times are good be happy, but when times are bad consider God has made the one as well as the other, therefore, a man cannnot discover anything about his future. In this meaningless life of mine I have seen both of these a righteous man perishing in his righteousness and a wicked man living long in his wickedness.
In life people are faced with trials and tribulations in which may result in us making human mistakes that are considered ungodly. God places people and things in our life for a various reasons. Many stay for a season and many come to teach us lessons. God gives us things but he doesnt enable us to use them, its up to us to figure out the appropriate ways in which to use the pleasures of life, because at the end of it all everything in life is meaningless, if its not to glorify the Lord.
Because many people fall short of God's callings and become consumed into the negatives of the world doesnt mean his or her life is destined for failure, no man nor woman can predetermine someone else fate only God can. Many of us fall short of hearing what God has to say to us but God doesnt stop speaking.
Louisiana prison gives inmates a chance to earn ministry degrees. "Angola is commonly known for holdng some of the worse criminals in New Orleans. Derrick like many other prisoners said " I ran from my calling all my life. But i like to put it like this God finds people wherever they go." Derrick says he heard God's call early. He only wishes he'd answered sooner. By the time he did he was serving a life sentence for murder.
At Angola God has been finiding men reguarly. So far about 150 of them have earned a Bachelor's of Arts degree from the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and another 100 are on track to graduate.
EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS MEANINGLESS!!!!! Life isnt always smooth sailing there will be bad as well as good but as long as we learn that our goal in life is to glorify God then our mission is complete.
"If you dont live for something, you'll die for nothing"!!!!!

Enjoy Life's Pleasures



Ecclesiastes 2:22-25
22 What do people get for all the toil and anxious striving with which they labor under the sun?
23 All their days their work is grief and pain; even at night their minds do not rest. This too is meaningless.
24 A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God,
25 for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?

Judgment Day!

Ecclesiates 3:17

17 I said to myself, “God will bring into judgment
both the righteous and the wicked,
for there will be a time for every activity,
a time to judge every deed.”

How Much Is Enough?


As goods increase,

so do those who consume them.
And what benefit are they to the owners
except to feast their eyes on them?

The sleep of a laborer is sweet,
whether they eat little or much,
but as for the rich, their abundance
permits them no sleep.

I have seen a grievous evil under the sun:

wealth hoarded to the harm of its owners,
or wealth lost through some misfortune,
so that when they have children
there is nothing left for them to inherit.

- Ecclesiastes 5:11-14
