“God Planted Eternity In Man’s Heart”

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy], yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.”
 
 
 
I think this scripture is so awesome.  I love how it tells us that God has planted eternity in every heart and mind that has ever lived.   We are born with the choice of whom we will look to to satisfy our every need.   Within the heart of man is a longing that only God can satisfy yet man who chooses to fill his voids apart from Christ will never be fulfilled.
 
 
 
I like how the New Life Version translated Ecclesiastes 3:11:

“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has put thoughts of the forever in man’s mind, yet man cannot understand the work God has done from the beginning to the end.”

 
 
 
I particularly want you to look at “man cannot understand the work God has done from the beginning to the end.”    The beauty of this is that this is what makes God almighty in all that He does.  He is beyond us figuring Him out, nor should we try to comprehend His ways.  If you wants you to understand, He will.  Let us as we submit our lives and wills to Him just simply trust Him.  He has promised that as we trust He will lovingly care for every aspect of our lives.
 
 
 
 
Isaiah 58:11 (AMP)
“And the Lord shall guide you continually and satisfy you in drought and in dry places and make strong your bones. And you shall be like a watered garden
and like a spring of water whose waters fail not.”
 
 
 
Let God show Himself strong in you when there is no strength to be found.  Watch Him show you the water in the “dry lands” that you may have to walk through.  It is not necessary to know how He does it for He alone is God, and all He wants is your trust!
