¹ Cast thy bread vpon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many dayes.

² Giue a portion to seuen and also to eight; for thou knowest noc what euill shall be vpon the earth.

³ If the clouds be full of raine, they emptie themselues vpon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the South, or toward the North, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.

⁴ He that obserueth the wind, shall not sow: and hee that regardeth the clouds, shall not reape.

⁵ As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones doe growe in the wombe of her that is with child: euen so thou knowest not the workes of God who maketh all.

⁶ In the morning sowe thy seede, and in the euening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.

⁷ ¶ Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing is it for the eyes to behold the sunne.

⁸ But if a man liue many yeeres, and reioyce in them all; yet let him remember the dayes of darkenesse, for they shall be many. All that commeth is vanitie.

⁹ ¶ Reioyce, O young man, in thy youth, and let thy heart cheere thee in the dayes of thy youth, and walke in the wayes of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things, God will bring thee into iudgement.

¹⁰ Therefore remoue sorrow from thy heart, and put away euill from thy flesh; for child-hood & youth are vanitie.

Ecclesiastes 11:9,10 Being a youth it is good to enjoy life but we must always remember that everything that is done will be brought to judgement. So we have to live the way God wants us to live. Afterall if anything that is done outside of God is vanity.

Verse 3: For the clouds to be full of rain, there is evaporation which first takes place, thereby making clouds pregnant with rain! The blessings which shower us from on are dependent on what goes up! More prayers combined with fasting go up to the throne of God, and galvanize the father into action! God help us!

Jesus Christ having wiped all the sorrows of man and brought hope to us, its high time that we rejoice, cheer up and move according to his footsteps as youths today.

Happy New Year!
"Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity." (Ecclesiastes 11:10)

When looking back over a year or over a life, many may have sorrow of heart and see where they went wrong.

When we walk contrary to God's ways and walk in our own ways, when we look back we can have sorrow of heart and regret the way we took.

I heard a man asked in an interview what was his biggest regret in life; his answer was the husband he was in his first marriage. I heard sorrow of heart and regret. The sorrow is what the heart feels and knows; the evil in the flesh is the wrong way seen.

A man was beaming talking about his love of the Lord. As he talked, he referenced all the tattoes that were on his body; he said they were before he came to the Lord. Though his flesh evidenced a way he wished he had not gone, and his heart expressed recognition and sorrow of a way he had took, he had joy in the spirit. His new man rejoiced, even as he sought to acknowledge the lasting image of the old man. Yet, as he stayed in the new man and the spirit of the Lord, the image of the old was covered.

I heard a man say his biggest regrets in life were distractions. He expressed sorrow of heart when looking at the error of his flesh.

For any to not have sorrow of heart and to not be grieved over the wrong seen in their flesh, the sorrow and the wrong must be removed.

Jesus Christ has come, and in Him is forgiveness of all sins. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

If any has sinned against us, we forgive as Christ has forgiven us. If we have sinned against others, we seek their forgiveness.

As we begin to walk anew, if we desire to not have sorrow of heart and to not see a wrong way in our flesh, we must walk in the Spirit, keeping the way of the Lord and His commandments.
