Everything Serves a Purpose!

I applied my mind to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under the heavens. What a heavy burden God has laid on mankind! I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind. What is crooked cannot be straightened; what is lacking cannot be counted. I said to myself, “Look, I have increased in wisdom more than anyone who has ruled over Jerusalem before me; I have experienced much of wisdom and knowledge.”Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom, and also of madness and folly, but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind.For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief.  Ecclesiastes 1:13-18 NIV

Some days, no matter how much we want to see the "point" of what we do, it simply escapes us.
After a great start on a rainy day, yesterday, the enemy made himself known and though I retained my composure and restrained from reacting to a situation until I could get a better handle on it, I understand--some things that happen are just meaningless and have no point.

Therefore, I will attempt to search deeper to find the meaning that I am obviously missing since I don't believe that things happen for no reason. Actually, I know exactly why things happened the way they did--it was the written proclamation and exhortation to prayer so we might all see changes in our society.

And just like that--it occurs to me that what I wrote yesterday frightened the enemy into action, hoping to silence me. Well, not a chance!

Thank You, Holy Spirit for revealing understanding even though I thought there was no point in what happened. There is always a point--some meaning--sometimes hidden, but worth seeking.
Hallelujah! I'm on the right track or the enemy wouldn't bother putting obstacles in my way.

Now, I understand and will continue this journey with gladness--no frowns, just smiles, and joy in my heart for the peace I have been given in order to keep moving forward. This just proves that even when we think--the events in our lives are meaningless--when we seek God, He shows us just how relevant everything that happens to us--really is.

My help comes from The Lord and nothing the enemy ever does will stop me from proclaiming God's goodness--from the rooftops and the valleys--in the streets and in the classroom, wherever I go, He goes and when I allow Him to show out--He does! Glory!

No weapon formed against us shall ever prosper and though we may feel defeated for the moment, victory in Jesus is still ours! Looking to Jesus for all we need!
