Ecclesiastes 1-3
Everything is meaningless. Pleasures are meaningless. Wisdom and folly are meaningless. Work is meaningless.
A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment? To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
Ecclesiastes 2:24-26 NIV
He almost got it. Unfortunately, he was too stuck in the here and now. He didn't see the opportunity to store up treasures in Heaven. And he missed the most valuable opportunity of all - to grow in intimacy with God now - which will be cherished forever.
Father, I love you, and I want to grow in intimacy with you now. Today. Every day from here on out. Jesus, thank you for your example of intimacy with the Father. Holy Spirit, please lead me on. I love you.
