Life Well Lived - November 5, 2023

In the Moment

November 5, 2023 • Warren Whitaker • Ecclesiastes 7, Ecclesiastes 8, Matthew 5:22, 2 Peter 3:9

A life well lived requires living well in the moment by accepting the things you cannot change, having strength to change what you can, and having the wisdom to know the difference. In chapters 7 & 8 of Ecclesiastes, we are encouraged by Solomon to not get bent out of shape over God's patience. If God's justice was instant, then we'd all be in trouble, but, God doesn't work that way. He understands our frailties and imperfect nature. It may not seem fair when God's Justice is delayed, but it allows for God's grace to change us.
