Each day invites you to shift your focus from temporary things to eternal truths, embrace God's wisdom, and gain the objectivity to live for His glory.

God created us to find meaning in our lives. But we live in a broken world where we’re continually frustrated in our search. So, what’s the point of living life? This is the question the Teacher in Ecclesiastes is asking. At first, the message of this wisdom book seems to lead to despair, but in fact points to the hope of life found in God alone.

Written by an elderly King Solomon, Ecclesiastes reflects on a life of meaningless pursuits. Solomon writes that the world's pursuits, from wealth to self-indulgence, are vain and unfulfilling. Ecclesiastes determines that God and his presence make life fulfilling, and true wisdom is to fear God and keep his commandments (Ecclesiastes 12:13).

When the wise king Solomon took a good, long look at life, he didn’t find much to satisfy him. Every supposed path to happiness left him with an empty feeling—and a reminder that death would soon end it all anyway. His experience reminds us to “remember our Creator” while there is time and to find hope where it really can be found.
