Decisions and Impact

 Bible Study Lesson from Ecclesiastes 11:7-8

and it pleases the eyes to see the sun.

 

8 However many years a man may live,

let him enjoy them all.

But let him remember the days of darkness,

for they will be many.

Everything to come is meaningless.

This is the Word of the Lord ... It is meant to change the way we think, and the way we live.

Decisions and impact

Living and Enjoying

Solomon says to live life to the fullest but also remember the rough times in our lives. We need to remember so that we might avoid some of them in the future through the decisions we make.

Impact

Always be aware that the decisions we make today, good or bad, may have an impact on us, or someone else, 5 years, 10 years, even 20 years from now.

God Knows

Remember that eternity is a long, long time. Ask God what His perspective is on your pending decision and think in terms of eternity instead of just this fleeting moment. Even though our lives on this earth are short, life with God will be forever.

So, enjoy and rejoice in today but consider your decisions wisely. They will impact you or someone else for a long, long time.

Love in Christ
