(Eccl 2:11 NKJV) Then I looked on all the works that my hands had done And on the labor in which I had toiled; And indeed all was vanity and grasping for the wind. There was no profit under the sun.
King Solomon had all there was to have in those days. He had endeavored to try everything his heart desired. He had satisfied all of his wants and desires for pleasure.
After experiencing all there was to experience, he came to one conclusion; “all was vanity and grasping for the wind”.
Oh… the time we each spend trying to satisfy the desires of our flesh. It can be blatant or it can be disguised or veiled, but in the end, it will still be vanity.
True satisfaction and happiness comes only from one Source; God, himself.
Spend time this weekend reflecting on this and weighing the things in your life that are taking up your time. What is real and what is vanity? What is for your satisfaction and what is for God’s glory?
The results of what you find might be very interesting.
