by[29] “This only have I found: God created mankind upright, but they have gone in search of many schemes.” – Ecclesiastes 7:29 (NIV)
How does it feel to manufacture a product for a specific purpose, but upon selling it to others, they use it for something completely different from the real reason it got manufactured? Very bad. Right? As a manufacturer, you’ll feel sad for such people because they will never see the true worth of what they bought as long as they use it for the wrong purposes.
The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 7:29 that God created mankind upright, but they have gone in search of many schemes. In other words, many people are not living according to the upright order of God for which He created them. Out of desperation, some have wandered far away from their divine purposes. Others have also embraced sin and promiscuity. Really, bad things are happening in this world.
In spite of all these evil happenings in the world, God doesn’t want you to be part of that number. Choices are more powerful than statistics. You can choose to live upright before God and pursue the vision He has given you, even if the masses are against you. Will it be easy? Of course not. You have to be strong so that the influence of the masses doesn’t get into drifting your attention from what God has told you to do. Instead of abandoning what God has said in search of other worldly things, which have no eternal value by the way, ask God for divine direction at every point of your life, especially when you are in a dilemma.
You are a blessing.
Prayer:
Father, thank You for Your grace. Help me to stick to what Your Word says concerning my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen!
