Ecclesiastes 6:11,12 What is your focus?

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!

Ecclesiastes 6:11 "See there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?"

The list of all things that increase vanity has been compiled. The accumulation of things has been pronounced a vain and unprofitable goal; for things can be lost so easily and must be relinquished at death. Then the question - what is the way to profit?

Ecclesiastes 6:12 "For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?"

Solomon is stating the truth that we cannot predict what the future holds. The only One who knows what will happen after we're gone is God. No human knows the future, so each day must be lived for its own value. Solomon is arguing against the notion that human beings can take charge of their own destiny. In all our plans we should look up to God, not just ahead to the future.

Where is your focus? Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
