A Generation Goes and A Generation Comes

Ecc.1:4 A generation goes, and a generation comes, but the earth remains forever.
God made the earth for man to dwell in. It will stand until he refines it and makes all things new!
Psalm 104:5 He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved.
Ecc.1:9 9 What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.
Man's condition of heart, his corruption, his desires, his pursuits, and his complaints are the same now as in generations past and if the Lord wills, future generations. When will man learn that he can not be happy from his collection of things? God gives peace and happiness through His mercy. Build your treasure in the kingdom to come so it will be everlasting.
Ecc.6:1-2 There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, and it lies heavy on mankind: a man to whom God gives wealth, possessions, and honor, so that he lacks nothing of all that he desires, yet God does not give him power to enjoy them, but a stranger enjoys them. This is vanity; it is a grievous evil.
God gives blessings but also, by His power, gives you the ability to enjoy them!
Gracious God, For all the blessings you give, thank You. For the ability to be content in plenty and want, thank You. For Your forgiveness, thank You. For the knowledge You give us, thank You. Amen
