Podcasts about vexation

Ecclesiastes begins:  The Words of the Preacher (Qohelet), son of David, King in Jerusalem, which references Solomon or someone in the Davidic Line.  Qohelet famously exclaims (in the King James), Vanity of Vanities, All is Vanity! T he ancient Hebrew uses “Hevel,” which differs from “vanity” in that it signifies empty air, like the breath we emit on a cold day.   Akin to our concept of vanity, however, the lament centers on much of life being meaningless. There is a notion that the Preacher is playing a role, pointing out how grim existence is without Faith.  He continues:   What profit hath a man of all his labors which he taketh under the sun?  In other words, What good has all your earthly work accomplished?  Further, the phrase, “under the sun” aptly contrasts our world with the transcendence of the heavens beyond. One generation passeth away and another generation cometh; but the earth abideth forever. The sun also arisesth, and the sun goeth down, and hastens to the place he rose.This poetry clashes with the majesty of the Creation story.  It is often considered part of ancient pessimistic wisdom literature, which lays bare the sadness and mundaneness endemic to life – in terms of the endless cycle of growth, decay and death.   However, this is the despair of one who lacks a view of the transcendent.    Qohelet continues to speak to fundamental observations every generation will uncover: The winds goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and returneth again according to its circuits.  The waters do the same – all rivers run into the sea;  yet the sea is not full.  The poetry is symbolicfor humanity never being able to get their fill from materialistic gains.   All things are full of labour; but man cannot express it.  The eye is not satisfied with seeing; nor the ear with hearing.  Though cryptic, this is generally understood to mean that no matter how wise, one will never fully understand this world.  Much is ineffable, including the questions of: Why are we here?, Why are things as they are?, Why is there suffering?, What is our purpose?  The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be, and thatwhich shall be done.  AND THERE IS NOTHINGNEW UNDER THE SUN.Is there anything whereof it may be said, see this is new?Truly, it hath been already of Old Time, which was before us.  There is no remembrance of former things, neithershall there be any remembrance of things to come .What we observe each day, so full-of-life and brilliant, will decay and die.   As to material riches (jewels, an amazing house, fancy car or new toy), they will lose luster.  All around us will be gone and forgotten. This goes for he who lived hundreds of years ago, just as it does for those who will be born hundreds of years from now.  Only though the Almighty, can we obtainsomething lasting.  Qohelet describes himself as King all over Israel in Jerusalem – the only mention of Israel in the Book.  In the mold of Solomon, Qohelet was renowned for his wisdom through contrasting the philosophies of the day and pursuing all knowledge under the sun.   Qohelet was in the position to find answers and guide humanity, but discovered there is only so much we can know.  He concludes that such pursuits are as futile as trying to capture the wind. His words imply that within each of us is the desire for a connection with something more, referencing the Bread of Life that Deuteronomy and Jesus speak to. Qohelet also devoted himself to madness and folly, perhaps referencing hedonistic pleasure and the hundredsof wives Solomon was attributed. His conclusion remained,  All is Vanity and Vexation of spirit.   Simply, you better look beyond Man for something more. To close the chapter Qohelet announces:  The wiser you become, the more you get frustrated in realizing what you don't know. For in much wisdom there is much grief; and he that increases knowledges increases sorrow.

Tonight, we'll read the 27th chapter of “Anne of Green Gables”, the classic 1908 novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery. This chapter is titled “Vanity and the Vexation of Spirit” In the previous chapter, Anne struggles to adjust to everyday life after the excitement of the concert. She finds ordinary days dull in comparison, lamenting that her experiences have perhaps spoiled her for simpler pleasures. School returns to normal, though minor quarrels persist among classmates stemming from tensions at the concert. Anne and Diana discuss growing older, imagination, and the trials of writing compositions. Anne enthusiastically shares a dramatic story she wrote, prompting the creation of a girls' story-writing club. Although Marilla disapproves of this pastime as foolish, Anne insists they always include morals in their stories. Despite Marilla's skepticism, Anne remains hopeful about her own personal growth, inspired by Mrs. Allan's past imperfections and kindness. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ecclesiastes 1:12-18 reveals Solomon's quest for wisdom and knowledge, only to conclude that all is vanity and a striving after wind. Despite his unparalleled wisdom, he finds that human understanding is limited, and the burdens of life bring vexation. However, this passage also sets the stage for the hope found in Jesus Christ.

As the chapter unfolds, we join Marilla on a contemplative evening walk, revelling in the awakening of spring. Her contentment, however, quickly turns to irritation upon discovering Anne's latest mishap. In her quest to transform her red hair into a raven-black dream, Anne's hair turns an alarming green, leading to a series of humorous and touching moments that highlight her spirited nature and the loving, albeit sometimes exasperated, support she receives from Marilla and Matthew. This chapter beautifully encapsulates Anne's indomitable spirit and the warmth of the Green Gables home, making it a delightful listen for both new and long-time fans of Montgomery's timeless work.

The Gift (24-26) Big Idea: The Good Life is not a human achievement to be gained, it is a gift that only comes from God. Goads and Nails: The Good Life is not a Human Accomplishment.

Ecclesiastes is a complicated book. It's meant to be provocative. It's meant to be emotional, to create emotion in you. It's meant to raise questions. Ecclesiastes means assembly. Most people think it's written by Solomon. You can think of it as a preacher's manifesto. The opening line is “vanity of vanities, all is vanity." Vanity of vanities is repeated 38 times in this book! The meaning of which becomes clearer as we go along. The literal meaning is' vapor.' Something that dissipates. It's okay if you can't immediately interpret everything in Ecclesiastes. Right now, we want to hear it, Step back and read a larger portion, and see what the larger theme is. The theme of Ecclesiastes might be, ‘what is the good life?' What is man meant to get out of the world, in his vapor of time on it? You can find the full show notes at https://www.lifeaudio.com/how-to-study-the-bible/ Section 1: Finding Life in Wisdom What does man gain? This is the journey of the book. How do we make sense of a dark and broken and complicated world considering God's promises and goodness? What is it like to wrestle with the concept that life does not always improve? What do we do when righteousness doesn't lead to blessing and goodness? All the frameworks we use to make sense of the world are being inspected and attacked here. “Vanity of Wisdom” v 18 – in much wisdom is much vexation, he who increases wisdom, increases sorrow. The preacher is willing to address the flip side of wisdom. Solomon asked for wisdom, sought it out, gained it – and he admits, it's a mixed bag. As you grow in wisdom, you can grow in sorrow. “Vexation” – sad and angry. We might call this an existential crisis – the more you know about the world, instead of finding hope, you find sorrow. Everything can be hard. There's a plus and a minus to everything in life, even wisdom. Section 2: Finding Life in Self-Indulgence The preacher tried wisdom, it led to sorrow, so he turns to pleasure to see what it can offer him. He found this was all also vanity. 2:4: “I made great works” – he became great through his work. This shows we can do good things with the wrong motive too, if we are trying to find life in them. If you want these things to hold the weight of your life, you will be greatly disappointed. “There was nothing to be gained under the sun.” What emotions come up when you hear this? What do you wrestle with? What's your response? Takeaway Lesson: 2:12-13 After considering the vanity of wisdom and the vanity of self-indulgence, he decides both are a mixed bag, but still, it's better to be wise than foolish. “There is more gain in light than darkness.” The pastor is refreshingly honest about it all. When we move toward the light, it doesn't take away everything hard, but it's still way better than being in the dark. RESOURCES: Nicole's Book: Help My Bible Is Alive!

Remember God During the Prime of Life Ecclesiastes 11:7-12:1 August 28, 2022 Introduction: I.Today's passage has a special word for everyone: 1. Young people, those in prime of life and those who are old 2. He defines the prime of life as whose body is still functioning free from the effects of aging. 3. He defines old as anyone whose body is waning away and severely limiting their ability to engage in life! • Let's start with those who are young and those still in the prime of life II. Remember the Lord during the prime of life. I.This passage really turns around three key words that all start with the letter “r”. 1. Rejoice v7-9 2. Remove v10 – the obstacles that keep us from rejoicing 3. Remember 12:1–center which life should revolve around II.As I read this section I want you to watch for two things: 1. 3 “r's” 2. Idea to do all of this “before” it is too late 3. Read 11:7-12:1 III.Rejoice - v7-9 – rejoice in the days of your youth 1. Note three times in v9 he refers to youth (young man, childhood, young manhood) Reread v9a-b 2. In this verse, he tells us specifically how a young person can rejoice in their youth. 3. Read 9c. – by following/pursuing your dreams a. The things your heart desires and the things you see that you want 4. However, he tempers the pursuing of those dreams by saying - read 9d. . This is not an encouragement to go out and do whatever you want and follow every lust of your heart but rather follow your dreams but do it with a sense of accountability to God, do it in a godly way a. Read Ecclesiastes 12:14 - God is going to judge every deed, the things others see and the things that no one sees but you and God. God's judgment is: 1. Without partiality (in other words God has no favorites, he does not care about the color of your skin, your economic status whether rich or poor or what position you hold) 2. All-inclusive as every human being will stand before God in one way or another. 3. Fair in it where the punishment or reward will be equal to the act. 4. Do it justly – that means everyone will be judged by the same standard –God's perfect standard revealed in his word! 5. That awareness that he will hold us accountable for every deed and every word in our lives should change the way we live and cause us to trust him, obey him and live holy lives IV.Then in v10, he tells them what they need to remove in order to enjoy life in a godly way. 1. Note the word “so” Read 10a – . Vexation – it is a word in Hebrew that can be translated as either grief or anger or vexation. Basically some kind of irritation in heart a. He is focusing upon the heart here and is saying get rid of the things that are irritating your heart and keeping you from enjoying life. Get rid of depression, anger, and bitterness. b. How are you doing? – Anything of this in your heart? If so, address it immediately with God and the help of others. 2. The second obstacle we need to remove are the sins of the body. Read 10b . Pain in Hebrew is literally translated as evil. a. The sins of the body are the various different ways we can use our bodies to sin – overeat, substance abuse, laziness, sexual, etc. 3. So get rid of the things in your heart that are stinking it up and the sins of your body so you can enjoy this life now because this youth thing, the prime of life, flies by quickly. V.Remember – 12:1 – read – remember God, put him at the center of everything while you are young, in the prime of life and you can enjoy life to its fullest! VI.Remember your creator - 1. One of the great gifts of still having a body in the prime of life is that you can use your life for God in a big way, without the limitations that poor health can bring. • Now there is a shift in the emphasis of this passage from remembering the Lord during the prime of life to III. Remember the Lord before you die I.With getting older comes declining capabilities of the body. II.This passage is built around two key words – “remember” and “before.” 1. We are to remember him before three things set in! a. v1 before – your youth passes away b. v2-5 before – old age sets in c. V6-7 before – you die. III.In v2-5 the image of a deteriorating house is used to picture for us the impact of old age upon us. There is a lot of debate over the meaning of the “specific” images used in this passage, but they all agree that “image as a whole” is describing the deterioration of the body and human vigor that comes with aging that ultimately culminates in death. Read 2-5 IV.Then in v 6-7 he tells us to remember God before we die as he gives us four images that picture death for us, read v6-7 V.Remembering God before it is too late is the main idea that drives this whole section, whether young, prime of life or old! 1. When he says “remember” he is not just talking about bringing God back to mind so we do not forget God 2. The Hebrew dictionary defines it as remembering him in such a way that causes us to respond to him in a way that is worthy of who he is. 3. So to remember God means to live moment by moment with God at the center of your life, seeking him, serving him, loving him, trusting him, and obeying him and on and on and on. • So what does all this mean for you and me today? IV. Application I.A number of years ago I gave one of my doctors the tape I did on living to the fullest because we are going to die! (I did that again just two weeks ago). Next time I saw him he said, “You am in deep ----; I am upset with you, you have ruined my life.” I said, “You must of listened to my cd” 1. Day after listened to tapes, first person he was supposed to see, that man's wife died that weekend. It hit the doc like a hammer 2. He said, “I have realized that all these plans I have made for the future may never happen – my wife or I may not be there for them. All my savings and all my planning may never happen.” 3. I need to do something now! I was planning to make some minor changes – now I have to make major changes and I do not know what to do. II.So are you living moment by moment with Jesus at the center of your life, seeking him, serving him, loving him, trusting him, and obeying him and on and on and on? III.You are not too young 1. Mary mother of Jesus – was in her early teens when God chose her to be the mother of Jesus 2. Most if not all of the disciples, the ones whom Jesus deeply invested in for three years then entrusted with the world-wide great commission were also in their teens 3. I know of kids here at MVC in 3rd grade who have invited friends to clubs, prayed for them and talked to them about Jesus. 4. We have kids in fifth and sixth grade working as helpers in the Sunday kid's classes and even the cameras on Sunday morning. 5. High school kids working in the junior high department and club impacting junior highs 6. College kids and young singles investing deeply in high school students 7. High school, college and young singles who have been involved in leading us in worship! 8. MVC itself has seen young people all the way back to Ron Hutchcraft to recently Sydney Lach and Ted Aguilar make a deep impact for Jesus both within and beyond these walls. IV.You are not too old to seek the Lord, serve him and be fruitful. God's desire and ability to use you even in your old age is not done – remember Caleb? 1. Caleb was a man who had a different spirit than the others. He was a man who when everyone else saw obstacles, Caleb saw an opportunity for God to do his thing. 2. At the age of 85 Caleb still walking with, serving and trusting God, took a hill from a group of people who were very big and strong and who lived in fortified cities 3. Be a Caleb as you age – there are plenty of others around to complain and see problems, but what MVC needs, what the kingdom of God needs, what your family and friends need. They need a Caleb or a Calebette who see God as bigger than any problem they face and serve him until the end! 4. Too many seniors have checked out at MVC and there are too many needs that they could meet here at MVC. A great place to start is working on Sunday mornings in the children's ministry so you can impact young people and relieve some overworked brothers and sisters who often need to miss church themselves! 5. Let me encourage you with a life giving passage – a. Turn to Psalm 92:12-15 – still yield fruit in old age – full of sap b. Do not waste this opportunity to pour out on others what should be the most abundant and best fruit you should have if you have walked with Jesus even into your old age

Dr. Greg Hummel - Vexation and Joy - Weekend Sermon Podcast - www.auburngrace.com

Are you vexed? Do you feel a heaviness and urgency these days and don't know quite what to do? You may be trying to control things around you. It's a natural response, but it also has lack of trust (and fear) at its root. Join Pastor Chris for a heartfelt message about vexation, control, trust, and peace.

Many have become discouraged and lost hope while trying separately to cope and to overcome the stress of daily life. The life story of one woman in the Bible stands out as a stellar example of emerging in victory over vexation against all the odds.

Biblical prayer counselor Brenda Zamorano was back in the studio to talk about control-- and trust. Do you possess any of the symptoms of someone who's trying to control things around them? And just what are some of those symptoms and what can we do about them? We're living in days that weigh especially heavily on us. Join us as we talk frankly about control, trust, fear, unmet expectations, and turning to the Holy Spirit.
