“He has planted eternity in the minds and hearts of men, a 
divinely impartation that only God can satisfy” (Eccl 3:11)

Because God has placed eternity within our hearts, He has a
sovereign plan that extends to all mankind. In Him, we have
been made and foreordained (chosen and appointed beforehand)
in accordance with His purpose (Eph 1:4)

 “Let us make man in our own image, in the image of God
He Created them” (Gen 1:27) 

As we journey, our workmanship unto Him is considered holy in
His sight (Ephesians 1:11). Furthermore, He will bring the world
to its' ultimate conclusion in accordance with His will and purpose.
Although no one can have a God’s-eye perspective on all life, we
receive enjoyment and a measure of satisfaction in life’s changing
rhythms.

Acutely, we are afforded a blessed and superb proportion including
the out-raying or radiance of the divine. Indeed a beautiful touch.
Even from the beginning, God gifted Adam with the breath of life.
More importantly, He continues to be the source of all life (Gen 1) 

Indeed, the clearer sight we have of His Sovereignty and power in
Heaven, the less we fear troubles on earth. My personal belief is
that His angels, an innumerable host, are ever guarding those
who love Him.  

Exquisitely, this blessed portion includes God’s indwelling within
our hearts. A reminder that one’s heart is the core of a person.
Our satisfaction with Divine providence is having faith that all
things work together for good to them that love Him
(Romans 8:28).   

Indeed, without the fear of the Lord man is but vanity (Eccl 3:11)
Therefore, let us not grow weary in looking upward for God’s
favors and blessings.

 “A divinely implanted sense of purpose working through
the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can
satisfy” (Eccl 3)
