Emptiness

Today’s Passage – Ecclesiastes 1 – 6

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. (Ecclesiastes 1:2)

Just a quick thought from the Word this morning. It is sad when you consider the life of some folks: they pursue everything that this life has to offer; but never find fulfillment; never find true happiness. Solomon discovered that all the wealth, wisdom, and pleasure that this world can give you will still leave you empty if you do not have a relationship with God. Fulfilling God’s will for your life is the only way that you can live your life with meaning and purpose. It is the only way that you can finish the game with something that you can keep. Everything else is vanity, emptiness.

Is your life empty of purpose, meaning? Then go to God and find out how you can have a purpose; something that will truly satisfy your desire to have your life mean something.
