I was doing some reading in ecclesiastes today and I really liked that saying, "Grasping for the wind." How can you grab the wind? It is pointless, and a waste of your time.
In that book it talks a lot about things that are pointless. In chapter 2:16 it mentions this, ...Since all that now is will be forgotten in the days to come.
What happens on this earth is fleeting, the most important thing is Jesus. Nothing else will matter, not the house you had or the house you didn't have, not the clothes you wore, not even your family. Jesus comes first.
In the book it also mentions in chapter 7:17 Do not be overly wicked, nor be foolish: Why should you die before your time? To me that is saying to live out your life, it has been specially given to you by your Lord. Use it wisely.
This is the conclusion.
Ch. 12:13-14
Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is man's all.
For God will bring every work into judgment
Including every secret thing, whether good or evil.
