History Repeats

You know that old saying that "History repeats itself"? Well listen to this from Ecclesiastes:

"Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account[or God calls back the past]." Ecclesiastes 3:15

Isn't this kind of interesting. I never gave much thought to the truth that history does tend to repeat itself in ways. However, I now have a new perspective on this. I think that we often feel like our problems are worse or new in some way that the world has never experienced them before. When actually our problems are the same problems people had thousands of years ago, only with different circumstances surrounding them.
This proves how applicable the Bible is to our lives despite how much the world has changed since it was written. No, Paul did not type out the book of Ephesians on his laptop, but he did struggle with the same feelings and emotions that we do today.

Have a marvelous Monday!
