Meaning

What will it all mean at the end of the day?

Contentment. Where does it come from? There is no one better to ask than the apostle Paul. He was familiar with life’s extremes with challenging circumstances.

Have you surrendered your life to God? Have you waived your rights, transferred control, and submitted to him? Have you said, “You are God, and I am not.”? Have you trusted in Jesus alone as the One who makes surrender life-changing? Have you come to grips with your spiritual need?

The world is desperate to see Christians find meaning and satisfaction in their work. We don’t worship our jobs; we worship the One who provided us the gift to find purpose in our daily efforts. It’s hard to argue against Solomon’s point: “there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his work.”

Solomon explains that man's existence should be defined by honoring, loving, respecting, and obeying God. That is where we find our true identity. Our spiritual identity cannot be lost because it comes from Jesus.

But Solomon’s journey is not hopeless. His questions and quests drive him to look deeper than the things this world can offer. At the end of his spiritual digging, he hits divine bedrock. God is the foundation of meaning, purpose, and eternal life.

Have you seen the risen Savior in your darkened world? He is there! Follow him in the resurrection of new life!

Those who know Elohim can trust him. Elohim is ready to give you all that you need.

God has put up a sign for true worship that reads, “No pretenders allowed.”
