MEANINGLESS!
The race is not to the swift
or the battle to the strong,
nor does food come to the wise
or wealth to the brilliant
or favor to the learned;
but time and chance happen to them all.
The above is from Ecclesiastes 9:11. Ecclesiastes, also known as The Preacher, is not the most inspiring book in the Bible. The author sees things from “under the sun”, or from the human experience, not from God’s point of view. From man’s point of view, he concludes that everything is “Vanity! Vanity!” (Meaningless!).
Only when we come to understand the meaningless of all the stuff we’ve collected and busyness we’ve wrapped our lives up in can we appreciate what is going on in the spirit world around us.
Let not your life be meaningless today. Let’s stay aimed at discovering God’s will today and add some eternal meaning to our lives.
