[Ecclesiastes 9:4-5 KJV] “For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten”.
There is hope for he that is joined to the living, did you know that? At least the living know they will die, but the dead know nothing. At least the living consider death as another step, but the memory of the dead is completely forgotten. They have no more reward and they have no knowledge.
Today, I want to exhort you that we shall all die one day and we shall all not know what happens after us. When we wake up and see the light of day, we must count ourselves blessed, because there is then one more thing we can do to make things right.
You may have failed yesterday, but note, today is a great day to be alive, and to right your wrongs. As long as there is life, there is hope. Don’t let your past cast doubt on your promising future. You can leave the past behind you and press on towards a glorious future. You can look forward and press on towards the mark of His high calling.
It is however not good for you to be alone. You must connect with the living if you are alive. You must not be isolated, you must not keep company with those who are dead in trespasses. May the Lord help each one of us who are connected to the living to live right and gratefully.
Indeed, there is hope for a living dog than for a dead lion. May you walk with confidence and know that there is hope. God is faithful and He keep His word. There is no time to give up. There is no time to mourn and cry. This is the time to press on; to press on till we win.
