TOPIC: Life Without God Is Vanity
TEXT: Ecclesiastes 1(NKJV)
Daily Fountain Devotional 22 October 2022 Message
The book of Ecclesiastes is one of the books of wisdom written by King Solomon. In the passage today, Solomon introduces himself as a teacher who uses his experiences as a wealthy and wise king to teach his readers the purpose of life. Solomon likened life to a vapour that vanishes in a twinkle of an eye.
Using nature and some creatures of God, he also explains the vanity of this world thus:
(1) From existence of the earth, several generations have come and gone, yet the earth remains.
(2) On a daily basis, the sun rises and sets
(3) The winds also blow and go back to their circuit.
(4) The sea is not full with the rivers, yet the water goes back to the rivers.
(5) Human desires are insatiable.
(6) There is no new thing on earth.
(7) Too much of wisdom would lead to sorrow (vv. 4-18).
With these in mind, one is forced to ask: What exactly is the essence of life? Everything man desires (be it pleasures or comfort) does not last. Then, if one would live a meaningful life here on earth, one must live a life with eternity in view.
We must live our lives to please God, for in Him we live, move and have our being (Acts 17:28a). Therefore, life without God is vanity.
PRAYER: Life without God is complete emptiness
