The Better House

Ecclesiastes 7:3-4 speaks of two different houses. We have the house of mourning and the house of feasting. It is written here the house of mourning is better than the house of feasting. Why is this?

So many times today people are in the house of feasting. One is hitting all the high points of life. Everything is working in their favor. However so many times when everything is going in this direction they have forgotten one thing. This of course is God! Instead of realizing how much God has belssed our labor and work they turn away to something else.

The house of mourning is a house that brings one closer to God. We realize that we do not need the finer things of life. As long as we have God in return God will take care of everything else for us. God will be tehre in the high times and the lwo times. Sadly when many are in the low times they turn to God but once one rebounds many forget about God again.

We are to remember God in both types of houses. The high times in how God has blessed our hands and our families in so many ways. The low times as well remembering that God cares for us always (I Peter 5:7).

We should let our light shine at all times remembering God in all things!
