Ecclesiastes 7:13

Read a good scripture this morning.

Ecclesiastes 7:13
"Notice the way God does things; then fall into line. Don't fight the ways of God, for who can make straight what he has made crooked?"

Great verse. Here's what stands out.

Notice: I have to be attentive to God's way. I need to be watching not just participating.

Then: I can't get so caught up in trying to learn his ways that I make that my excuse for not standing in line. Submission, submission, submission.

Don't fight: no point. Why try? It only wastes my energy.

Crooked: Interesting concept. Does God make things crooked? Does He do it for a reason? Is there something He is getting at that requires a less than straight way to get there? Of course. Straight lines don't produce the same type of fruit that curvy lines do. Don't fight it.
