As we continue today in our reading in Luke, we are also breaking away from the book of Psalm and beginning to read the book of Ecclesiastes. It wasn’t until a few years ago that I appreciated this book and the wisdom behind it. The book of Ecclesiastes was written by Solomon towards the end of his life. At this point, Solomon is looking back at his life with regret over some of the choices he had made. He realizes at this point that most of the things he focused on throughout his life were basically meaningless. Ecclesiastes 1:2 it says, 2“Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher. “Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.” Powerful words coming from a man who was arguably the richest man who had ever lived. He had at his disposal anything he could have ever wanted and at the end of his life he realizes it is all meaningless and worth nothing. These thoughts are evidenced in verse 14 where he says, I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind. This is powerful information for all of us as we chase our wants and dreams during the few years we have on this earth. How many of us would look back at our lives and think the same thing?
