Written in the heart
Ecclesiastes 5:13
Materialism Thwarts Enjoyment of Life
13 Here is a misfortune on earth that I have seen:
Wealth hoarded by its owner to his own misery.
A lot of pretty things arise on a foundation of dead works.
Decisions without the Spirit produce things that won’t last.
Are not in this all the answers firm and clearly written?
Surely not blowing in the wind as some songs suggest.
No good resides in us unless it has been placed there.
The natural and the super-natural are a gift of God.
You don’t have to admit this for that does not change a thing.
It is what it is my friend ...as the answer survives the lot.
Written in the heart it is ... in every human being.
Judgment rests upon obedience to the truth.
You don’t have to believe this and let your flesh deceive you
but that won't remove reality for in the end it still is you.
Jan Wienen
