Christian Reflection and Prayer

Scripture:

But as I looked at everything I had worked so
hard to accomplish, it was all so meaningless--
like chasing the wind. There was nothing really
worthwhile anywhere.
Ecclesiastes 2:11, NLT

Reflection:

Solomon summarized all his attempts at finding
life's meaning as "chasing after the wind.
" We feel the wind as it passes, but we can't
catch hold of it or keep it. In all our
accomplishments, even the big ones, our good
feelings are only temporary. Security and
self-worth are not found in these
accomplishments, but far beyond them in the
love of God.
Think about what you consider worthwhile in
your life--where you place your time, energy,
and money. Will you one day look back and
decide that these, too, were a "chasing after
the wind"?
