Spiritual Rendering


I decided to follow my mother's example and do a devotion and Bible reading this morning. She is devoted to her time with the Lord and I ashamedly admit that this is an area where I do not put much effort unless I am in discussion about God. 

I truly feel a peace and quietness of spirit that is from the Lord - a peace that passes understanding, if you will. Some of you are smiling at the verse reference and nodding your heads as you remember times when God gracefully bestowed that peace into your lives. 

I know you understand.

I had three revelations this morning in Scripture and I only read a small chapter in Ecclesiastes. No more than ten verses total.

My third "revelation" was about Mary Kay and whether or not I should continue to do it. (I've recently started another business and it has been successful and I still serve a handful of wonderful, loyal MK customers. I've been debating the option of releasing it, however, for over a year.)

I wrote about it in my journal before I did my devotional and Bible reading and then I read Ecc 11 and verse 6 jumped at me. And you know, I have to meditate on it . . . not a cut and dry feeling in my spirit, but I feel like I'm supposed to talk to God about this verse today and I think I know the conclusion.

Ecc 11:6     "Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let not your hands be idle, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well."

Do I give up MK or do it and Premier? I feel like verse answers the question in my journal that I wrote not ten minutes before reading this. I "do not know which will succeed," therefore, I should not let it go because I simply don't want to do it. 

At least not in this period of time.

Jacob wants me to do Premier to then pay for inventory for Mary Kay....Im thinking its a good idea.
