21 Days of Prayer and Fasting

Day 9

which my soul has sought repeatedly, but I have not found. One man among a thousand I found, but a woman among all these I have not found. See, this alone I found, that God made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes. —Ecclesiastes 7:28-29

“I have looked for other answers but have found none. I found one man in a thousand that I could respect (trust), but not one woman.
This is all that I have learned: GOD MADE US PLAIN AND SIMPLE, BUT WE HAVE MADE OURSELVES VERY COMPLICATED .”

God is speaking to us today through Solomon. Solomon was a son of king David. He too later became a king , he was a wise man, he was so wealthy and had so many women. Solomon was literally enjoying life by every human standard but something tragic happened along the way, Solomon’s HEART turned away from GOD and was no more fully dedicated to the God who made him and blessed him beyond what he deserved. After this, his personal became messy and miserable. His family was thrown into confusion and his leadership was totally messed up. What happened to Solomon? Is this Solomon the wise man? What went wrong? Vs.29 the same Solomon tells us what went wrong vs. 29 of our text, We, including Solomon have made ourselves VERY COMPLICATED.

PRAYER

LORD, GOD ALMIGHTY, I PRAY FROM THE DEPTH OF MY HEART AT THIS VERY MOMENT, THAT EACH ONE OF US WILL CALL UPON YOU TO HELP US TO HAVE A BETTER AND DEEPER RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES. THIS I PRAY WITH THANKSGIVING IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS: AMEN AND AMEN!!!!!!!
