Anooother question.

Kaylee and Taylor, thanks for replying to my earlier question about Ecc 3:15. I completely agree with what you both said.

Now that you've thought about what it means, what do you think the practical application we can get from the verse is? How would it change our mindset or perspective?

("That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been; and God seeks what has been driven away.")

I think that...

1. We should trust God with everything in our future because He already has our lives planned out and knows what He's doing. When we don't trust God then we're basically saying that God's messing up and our way is better.

2. We should also pursue the poor, the outcast, the broken, and the nonbelievers and reach out to them the way God has reached out to us.

I don't know, but that's how I'm thinking about it... Any thoughts, Taylor?

I would kind of echo what Kaylee said and just add a little snippet (I think that's a word).

I would just add that we should have greater faith for what God is going to do, what He has promised to do, and what He can do. In respect to bringing more and more people to Himself and in our own lives. I think too many times we limit God in our minds to what we think is possible. Whether it is doubting that he will pull us through a set of trials in our own personal lives or if it's having faith and truly believing that He can and will redeem people through his power. Whether he uses us to do that or not is another thing, because we can also get hung up on our role in things and put more importance on it than it actually deserves.

So, yeah, I don't know if you will be able to really understand that cause I think it's a little scattered, but that's my 2 cents =).

That's good, Taylor.
