Ecclesiastes 1:14 (NKJV) I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.
There are so many things that pull on us, making demands for our time and attention.
Work, hobbies, children, spouses, sports, activities, yard work, housework, and the list can go on and on.
Now, most of these things are necessities. We obviously need to do laundry, clean our house, tend to the children, maintain our yard, etc. But there are many things that we spend time on that are fruitless and, honestly, a waste of our time.
Solomon experienced just about everything there was to experience in life. He had it all and did it all. He had more riches than anyone. He had more women than he knew what to do with. He was admired by everyone around the known world for his wisdom and accomplishments.
But after everything he had experienced and everything he had done, he saw it for what it was; vanity and grasping for the wind.
So let us ask you today, what is your time spent on? What do we do that is vanity and grasping for the wind?
Are our lives just a repeating sequence of meaningless events? We all need to consider this. We need to take a look at our lives and make sure we’re spending our time on those things that will impact lives for Christ and leave a legacy when our time here on earth is through.
Yes, we can still have a hobby and things that we enjoy, but if our time is spent more on those things than on things that matter for eternity, then we may need to make some adjustments.
Indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.
