“THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN!”

Ecclesiastes 1:8-11                                                     (ESV)

“8 All things are full of weariness; a man cannot utter it; THE EYES IS NOT SATISFIED WITH SEEING, NOR THE EAR FILLED WITH HEARING nor. 

9 What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and “THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN”. 

10 Is there a thing of which it is said, "See, this is new"? IT HAS BEEN ALREADY IN THE AGES BEFORE US. 

11 There is NO REMEMBRANCE of former things, nor will there be any remembrance of later things yet to be among those who come after.”

There was recently an article on social media sites entitled “Science Says Silence Is Much More Important To Our Brains Than We Think”.  I thought that “Scientists”, generally thought of by this world as some of the smartest people in existence, were just now figuring out what GOD’s WORD has been trying to tell us for millenniums.  Only GOD has all of the answers, yet mankind wants to believe that we have discovered new health benefits, and new discoveries in the computer age, and new this, and new that, but Scripture says in Ecclesiastes 1:9 “THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN”!

Colossians 1:16 (ESV) says “For by HIM ALL THINGS were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-ALL THINGS were CREATED through HIM and for HIM.”  Even the knowledge of man, both current and former, was given by the ALMIGHTY and we SHOULD give HIM credit. Even the wealth that man acquires from the knowledge that GOD Blesses him with is from GOD, and we will be held accountable for our “earnings” one day!  

It might be beneficial for us to take into consideration that “THERE IS NOTHING IS NEW UNDER THE SUN”, but IT HAS BEEN ALREADY IN THE AGES BEFORE US!  Only what GOD REVEALS TO OUR BLINDED EYES IS NEW TO US!  Ecclesiastes 3:15 says “That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been; and GOD seeks what has been driven away.”  Another translation finishes the verse with “...for GOD will call to account what has passed.”  ALMIGHTY GOD will hold us accountable for what we have relayed to others, and for what/who we credit the knowledge HE has Blessed us with.  HIS revelations are not from our wisdom or knowledge, they are from ONLY HIM!

It is true that “Silence Is Much More Important To Our Brains Than We Think”, but WHO are we listening to when we are SILENT?  “This world”, or THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSES?  “THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN”, but we MUST come to grips with THE SON CREATED everything for HIM, not for our pleasure!  HE is GOD and we are not!  We ALL will be given the opportunity to explain our decisions regarding HIS LORDSHIP over ALL soon!  What will your response be to HIM???
