Ecc 2:20 So my heart began to despair over all my toilsome labor under the sun.
I watched a video overview of Ecclesiastes before beginning this book, and I am so thankful that I did. To read this book on its on is hard. Every single chapter is depressing. Everything is meaningless and pointless. But God….
Ecc 2:21 For a person may labor with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then they must leave all they own to another who has not toiled for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune.
Life, as evidenced in Ecclesiastes, is the same. Without the hope of God, without the presence of God, without the meaning of God, life is pretty pointless. We all know we aren’t getting out of here alive and we can’t take a single thing with us. But God….
Ecc 2:22 What do people get for all the toil and anxious striving with which they labor under the sun?
Lord, Thank You for this scripture and this day. Thank You for the knowledge that You are my center and my purpose. As I go through this life, draw me closer to You. Help me to shine Your Light and share Your hope, knowing that is what gives my life purpose. Amen.
Ecc 2:23 All their days their work is grief and pain; even at night their minds do not rest. This too is meaningless.
Have a blessed day.
