What a timely place to be in our Read the Bible in a Year program! Here, as we are anxiously sitting on the edge of SUMMER and all that means as far as a time for enjoyment, we hear in Ecclesiastes that God wants us to experience JOY, but with a warning -- VANITY -- that is striving to experience joy in things that are truly meaningless. "Ecclesiastes counsels enjoying the everyday gifts God gives, such as times with family and friends, and faithfully remembering and worshiping God."
This reminds me of one of the Chronicle articles this past month -- and of Pastor Emil's continuing "summer" message urging us to enjoy vacation and to also be in worship regularly.
PLEASE go to the Enter the Bible site from Luther Seminary this week and read and watch the information concerning Ecclesiastes. http://www.enterthebible.org/oldtestament.aspx?rid=41
Scroll down to the videos listed on the right side and listen to Dr Jim Limburg, Luther Seminary Professor.
This should be a nice mid-week boost!!
