The One Year Bible - Day 245

The beautifully entertaining and insightful book of Ecclesiastes comes to us courtesy of the wisest man who ever lived Solomon. His advice? Everything is meaningless. He was actually talking about the pursuits of man rather than everything but his advice is sound. If there was an old head I would want on my shoulders, it would be Solomon's. If he can say that he has tried everything and it was meaningless then I should trust that chasing women, power, influence or popularity will not bring any more meaning to my life - it might in fact bring less. Pursuing God however is another matter. Why spend 99% of our time on matters that will not exist in eternity? Pursue God and everything we invest in lives forever.
