Still reading through the Bible; (am up to Isaiah 51)
But wanted to take the time to share this:
In my years with the LORD these have become some of the most insightful verse.
Ecclesiastes 12:9-14
for i have found the things written in Ecclesiastes to be so true. For most of the things we count as good or valuable
are nothing but vanity.
We wast so much time with things that in the reality of life
and time are of no value, not worth or value.
only a wast of time and energy.
If what we strive after spending time in,
dues not bring praise and honer to our LORD our GOD,
It is a wast of our life. It is all vanity.
i lived most the life talked about in Ecclesiastes,
and from personnel experiences can tell you it is vanity,
nothing but vanity.
12:9-14
In addition to being a wise man,
the Preacher also taught the people knowledge;
and he pondered, searched out and arranged many proverbs.
The Preacher sought to find delightful words and to write words of truth correctly.
The words of wise men are like goads,
and masters of these collections are like well-driven nails;
they are given by one Shepherd.
But beyond this, my son, be warned:
the writing of many books is endless,
and excessive devotion to books is wearying to the body.
The conclusion,
when all has been heard, is:
fear God and keep His commandments,
because this applies to every person.
For God will bring every act to judgment,
everything which is hidden,
whether it is good or evil.
{{{
for the only living GOD,
the creator of the heavens and the earth,
and all on and in the earth and heavens.
knows every word you have spoken and will speak,
He knows every thought you have ever thought and will think.
and ALL, All of it will be judged when the time comes.
but we are told by excepting Christ Jesus as our Lord we may be saved.

John 3:16
“For God so loved the world,
that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him shall not perish,
but have eternal life.
John 2:15
Do not love the world nor the things in the world.
If anyone loves the world,
the love of the Father is not in him.
John 14:15
"If you love Me, you will keep My commandments"
John 8:42
Jesus said to them,.
"if God were your Father, you would love Me,
for i proceeded forth and have come from God,
for i have nott even come on My own intiarive,
but He sent Me."
