The epitome of wisdom is to look deeply into the lives of human beings and see the secret that we refuse to accept: most of the things we strive for and worry about are not worth it. To ask the question of eternal value is to slap human history in the face. Yet, to be honest to God and ourselves, we must ask it. The Preacher had lots of time and money, so he delved deeply into life. He tried to satisfy every urge, and explore every possibility. In the end, he found all the answers he was looking for – but was left with a nagging question: is it worth it?
LORD, help us to find our purpose in your.
