When Life Seems Senseless
From the Book of Ecclesiastes chapters 1,2 and 3
The words of the Teacher, " son of David, king of Jerusalem"
"Meaningless! meaningless!," says the teacher. " Everything is meaningless.."
What does a man gain from his labor at which he toils under the sun? Generations come and generations go but the earth remains forever. A man may do his work with wisdom, knowledge and skill and he must leave all he owns to someone who does not work for it. And who can tell whether he will be a wise man or a fool? All of these are meaningless and a chasing after the wind..
Therefore there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live..
Many people nowadays think that if only they got a lot of money they will be happy.. Financial security is what more important.
There was once a very very rich man named Solomon. The bible said no one could exceed him in luxury ..Everyone knows how rich and wise he was .. He was the king and the most famous man in his time. He enjoyed all the wealth and richest and a world could provide but in the later part of his writings in the book of Ecclesiastes, he come up into conclusion that everything was only vanity..Systematically, he sampled all of life pleasures and powers yet ultimately disappointed him. All proved meaningless..
Do you seek life pleasures and you end up life turns bitter on you? Rich or poor, good or evil meets the same end. This is the only one word describe this life.. MEANINGLESS!!
