Day 170: Ecclesiastes 1-6

Today on Meditating the Word, Solomon discusses the vanity in everything, in seeking wisdom, in self-indulgence, in folly and toil; he talks about the seasons of everything in life, our God-given tasks and the value of friendship and compares wisdom and folly.
This is Day 170. Today we are reading Ecclesiastes 1-6

Father God, such a lesson in matters of the heart, and in our motives. Working for the sake of working, or to build and hoard wealth, is meaningless. We can't take anything that we earn with us when we leave this earth. And so many of us spend our days and the years of our lives toiling for nothing. You gave us work and a purpose. And that work and purpose should fill us with joy. Yes, there should also be a reward for the work that we do here on earth, but far more important, is the treasure we store up for ourselves in heaven. Help us to keep our focus, Father, on the things that truly matter. Amen
