“Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher. “Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.”—Ecclesiastes 1:2 (NIV)
Bible scholars have translated the above verse in many different ways, but essentially the meaning remains the same. What is the purpose of life? How should we spend our finite time on earth? Of course, the answer is to use our time to grow spiritually, to nurture our relationship with God.
Lord, so many of us spend our time searching for what we already have: a meaningful life devoted to You.
You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.—Psalm 16:11 (ESV)
I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.—John 14:18 (NIV)
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.—2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)
