Title: Whatsoever God Does is Permanent.

Ecclesiastes 3:14 "I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him."

Devotion: This verse reveals the eternal nature of God's actions. Unlike human efforts, which are often temporary or flawed, God's works are perfect, complete, and enduring. His sovereignty ensures that nothing can improve or diminish what He has done. The phrase "that men should fear before him" points to reverence—a call to humility and awe in the face of divine perfection.

 Key points in the Devotion

1. God’s Perfection and Permanence

- God is described as living, beautiful, and perfect—a reminder that His nature is not static or distant but active and glorious.

- His works are intentional and eternal. Whether it's creation, salvation, or blessings, they are designed to last.

2. Human Responsibility: 

- While God's works are eternal in design, their manifestation in our lives depends on our alignment with His will.

- The example of Adam and Eve illustrates this: though created for eternal fellowship, their disobedience disrupted that plan.

- This introduces a paradox: God's works are eternal, yet human free will can affect how those works unfold in our lives.

3. Stewardship of Divine Gifts

- The devotion challenges us to reflect: Has God given you a precious gift?

- Whether it's a talent, opportunity, relationship, or calling, the intention behind the gift is divine and purposeful.

- Our role is to honor the gift, walk in obedience, and align with God's plan so that the gift fulfills its eternal purpose.

Reflection and Application

- Fear before Him: Not terror, but reverence. Recognizing that God's works are beyond human manipulation should lead us to worship and obedience.

- Guard the gift: If God has entrusted you with something precious, treat it with care. Ask: Am I nurturing it according to His will?

-Do not just sing "it shall be permanent what the Lord has done for me", Walk in alignment: Eternal blessings require daily obedience. The permanence of God's work is not a license for passivity but a call to active partnership.
