The Preacher in Ecclesiastes said, “there is nothing new under the sun.” Solomon is correct for God directed him to place in His Book. What we do know is simple: God creates everything and there is absolutely nothing surprising to the Father.

In my short life-span of almost 80 years God has allowed me to personally speak to at least 350 thousand people, maybe more. On this Lord’s Day, August 31, 2025, I may have the opportunity to personally speak with a dozen more.  How many people have you met and spoken to over the course of your lifetime?

The Preacher says, “I also observed under the sun: there is wickedness at the place of judgment and there is wickedness at the place of righteousness. I said to myself, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked, since there is a time for every activity and every work.” But there is more, much more.

Jesus tells us, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while people were sleeping, his enemy came, sowed weeds among the wheat, and left. When the plants sprouted and produced grain, then the weeds also appeared. The landowner’s slaves came to him and said, ‘Master, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Then where did the weeds come from?’ “‘An enemy did this!’ he told them. “‘So, do you want us to go and gather them up?’ the slaves asked him. “‘No,’ he said. ‘When you gather up the weeds, you might also uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At harvest time I’ll tell the reapers: Gather the weeds first and tie them in bundles to burn them, but store the wheat in my barn.’” Matthew 13:24-30. 

What we know is simple, there are lost and saved people everywhere we go. Walking about town at work or in a park everyone around us is in need of the Good News we bear for in the end, the Judgment.

John writes, “Then I looked, and there was a white cloud, and One like the Son of Man was seated on the cloud, with a gold crown on His head and a sharp sickle in His hand. Another angel came out of the sanctuary, crying out in a loud voice to the One who was seated on the cloud, “Use your sickle and reap, for the time to reap has come, since the harvest of the earth is ripe.” So the One seated on the cloud swung His sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.” Revelation 14:14-16.

In your time the work God has given will never be complete.  

Jesus is Lord.
