Word for the day "Life without God, is meaningless"

Ecclesiastes 1:14 (KJV) I observed everything going on under the sun, and really, it is all meaningless—like chasing the wind. When Solomon started out to in life, he started by getting the finest education available in his day. Despite that valuable education, however, there was still an emptiness in his life. He wrote, “So I set out to learn everything from wisdom to madness and folly. But I learned firsthand that pursuing all this is like chasing the wind” (Ecclesiastes 1:17). Why was that? Because Solomon sought wisdom without God, and that left him empty. Life without God in the center of our lives will always leave you empty family of God, I know this emptiness all too well.Academic pursuit wasn’t doing it for Solomon, so he decided to leave his smartest ideas at door. He concluded, “Laughter is silly. What good does it do to seek pleasure?” (Ecclesiastes 2:2). Then Solomon became a wine connoisseur and got into every kind of alcoholic drink he could think of. But he saw how empty that was too. I wonder can anyone relate to today’s message?Solomon shifted gears again. With unlimited resources at his disposal, he decided build the coolest palaces and the most lavish homes ever seen. But even that, he concluded, was empty.Like Solomon, so many people today think God doesn’t know what He’s doing. They have to go out and learn everything the hard way. How many more people will have to make this mistake? How many more marriages will be destroyed? How many more children will be deprived of both parents? How many more lives will be destroyed by substance abuse? How many more people will choose to simply chase after material things and never think of others? In this season of Advent: Time of expectation, preparing, and arrival, where are you in your life?Point to ponder- Be mindful not to waste a great portion your life as Solomon did. He self-destructed, but in the end he came around. That is why he had something to say to all of us in Ecclesiastes. It is his account of what he learned the hard way. Solomon was considered the paradox of men and known as the foolish wise man.Our Leadership team is especially thankful for those of you who provided financial donations and support  by partnering with us in efforts to advance the Kingdom of God in this 21st century season.
