Ecclesiastes 1

Everything Is Meaningless!


18 For with much wisdom comes much sorrow;
    the more knowledge, the more grief.


Today is a real "uplifter!"

I think I understand Solomon's frustration here.  What we do here on earth, outside of being the light and guiding others to the solution of Christ......is really pointless.  In the end, it won't matter.  I won't count toward anything.  We can work really hard to build our minds or our bodies....and it just won't matter.  
I sometimes feel this frustration.  

But, I think we are supposed to look at this fact as a "free-ing" message and not a curse.  Our futures aren't bound to our accomplishments.  Our destiny is already bought and paid for.  That should be liberating, and not a negative thought at all.

How's that for spinning a - into at +?
