HOPE!!! 3/11/26
Ecclesiastes 11:4–6 (KJV 1900)
4He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
5As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
6In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
March 11, 2026-A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE!!!!!
Ecclesiastes 9:4 (KJV 1900
4For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
“FOR TO HIM THAT IS JOINED TO THE LIVING THERE IS HOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
PRAISE THE LORD FOR HOPE!!!!
Romans 8:24–25 (KJV 1900)
24For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
1 Corinthians 13:13 (KJV 1900)
13And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Although rarely emphasized or preached, AT LEAST “HOPE” is in the top three of the Apostle Paul's desire for life in THIS world!!!!!!
PLEASE read, study, MEDITATE, SELAH (think on) the Scripture I began this sermon with:
Ecclesiastes 11:4–6 (KJV 1900)
4He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
5As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
6In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
Verse 4 simply states the obvious!!!! One CANNOT sit on his or her duff and DREAM on a better life/better day!!! There is NO pay check with out work or effort-AMEN!!??
Verse 5 is very interesting as even today NO scientist or doctor can simply explain HOW IN GOD'S GREEN ACRE does a single sperm cell and female egg produce a LIVING/BREATHING.WHOLE human being?????????
“even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.”
Verse 6 is the key/kicker!!!
6In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
SOW THY SEED!!!!!!!!!!!
That “SEED,” that effort, that try, that gamble, that risk, MAY have failed this morning, AND maybe again this afternoon!!!!????
It may have failed yesterday AND the day, week, month, year before...........
BUT, just as nobody/no MERE man or woman can explain how a baby grows in the womb, neither can anybody, learned or not, adequately explain how a simple grain of corn grows into a tall stalk and produces thousands of same seed??????????
A cheap basketball in the hands of a Michael Jordan produces MAGIC!!!! Not me!!!
Beloved, life often-TOO OFTEN-knocks the living daylight out of each of us!!!!!
Ecclesiastes 9:2 (KJV 1900)
2All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.
I hate to bust the bubble of any who adhere to the “prosperity gospel!!!”
ALL THINGS COME ALIKE TO ALL..................................
BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD!!!!
Proverbs 24:16 (KJV 1900)
16For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: But the wicked shall fall into mischief.
TODAY, if you BELIEVE you are a just person in the eyes of God........
Perhaps YOU also have been knocked down/FALLEN seven times or 70 times.....
RISE UP!!!!!
In closing, there may not be an INSTANT answer to your PRAYER or problem!!!
Sometimes it takes hours, days, weeks, even years to dig oneself out of a trial and/or trying situation!!!!
Sometimes the naysayers in YOUR life cast doubt and fear and UNBELIEF in your face!!
BUT REMEMBER GOD'S WORD!!!
Jeremiah 32:27 (KJV 1900)
27Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
You may want or need to read this message again and again??????????????????
God Bless YOU!!!
