I was reading Ecclesiastes this morning and, as is often the case, I was spiritually crushed under the weight of Biblical wisdom. As Solomon shares with the reader the knowledge and wisdom he gathered over his life, we are in the advantaged position to trust in Godly wisdom and flee from the "vanity" Solomon describes. The gathering and accumulation of money, possessions, food, alcohol, women/men, status, entertainment..."it's all vanity." Though, by reading the first five chapters we're left with a less than happy disposition, the remaining seven chapters stoke the spiritual fire to leave the earthly stuff behind and pursue righteousness and love with God almighty.
If you're lost, tired, burdened, haughty, empty, or just not feeling completely settled with the Lord, Ecclesiastes is a great pit stop to recharge and fill up and get back on the narrow road.
12:13-14 "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: 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."
