Eternal thought ...
Ecclesiastes 3:11
11 God has made everything fit beautifully in its appropriate time,
but he has also placed ignorance in the human heart
so that people cannot discover what God has ordained,
from the beginning to the end of their lives.
In the tumult of confusion and the splattering of the good
Deep in a well-hidden place calmness is the way
To make things work together for the good of the believer
and prepare him for a face to face with the Prince of Eternal day
Blessed the assurance ... blessed the gift of faith
Unsearchable the treasure ... that always possesses me
Is it not a wonder ... that I am still breathing
While the Maker of it all ... is now “full” part of me?
Thoughts are reaching deeply ... just below the surface
The most intelligent searching ... never gets below the skin
In all that is known of this amazing creation
will never get past itself to understand the cherubim
Time to search the moment ... time and space in one
Gathering together ... in a simple thought
Is this called existence or just a fleeting effort
that does not mean too much in the Eternal sought?
