Ecclesiastes 2:26
What is the meaning of life? The wisest of the wise reveals the secrets of purpose, for those in the world. The secret is not easy. It is not nice. It does not leave a warm and fuzzy feeling that empowers and energizes you. The secret of life is that there is no purpose. You are born and you spend your life collecting things that will fade away like mist. You spend your time and energy storing up security and comfort only for it to fade away and be forgotten. You keep for yourself or pour yourself out, and it does not matter, if you stand on your own. Every day that you toil under the sun building your own life is built in vain, if you do not recognize the One who made the sun. For this is the true secret. Purpose in life is not taken, but given. It is given by One who is above us. If we live this life apart from the Creator of it, then we spend eternity regretting it. Only if we spend this life recognizing the Creator and seeking Him will we spend eternity in utter thankfulness in this choice.
