Meaning of your life

 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. James 4:14

 Our life on Earth is like a vapor it does not last forever. We cannot predict tomorrow, we lived our life in an illusion full of imagination of something better than where we are. But all these are speculations which we are sure.

THE EMPTINESS OF OUR EFFORTS

  • Our Car, somebody may buy a car and at the end he was killed with the car in an accident, someone will think that such person has used his money to buy his death. Who is to be blamed? This is life where we cannot predict the next moment.
  • A man married a wife and ends up putting himself in trouble and instead of having a lasting peace he ended up with problems.
  • Our Money. We give ourselves sleepless night to accumulate money and one day the person died and left the money and the struggles to someone else who does not know the amount of efforts you have made to achieve such a wealth and at the end all be wasted for nothing that does not worth it.

The world is full of fantasies; the car you bought today becomes an old model tomorrow. The handphone you bought today becomes an old model tomorrow I could remember when there was no GSM phone and at a point, the GSM phone was invented and the number of the GSM phone was limited and people treasured their GSM phone so much and such GSM phone like NOKIA 3310 and in the year 1992, it was the best selling GSM phone in the market. But today anybody who used such a phone now looks like he has committed an offense. Just reason what has made it so obsolete that people will not be able to purchase it any longer. This is obvious in the scripture that the world and its desires will be passed away.

And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever. 1John2:17(KJV)

CHANGING OUR ATTITUDE ABOUT RICHES

What are your dream and the heart desire that has made you worry all the days to achieve it?

Labor not to be rich Proverb 23: 4-5,  why? Riches certainly make wings themselves

In our humanistic culture, people pursue many things, thinking that in them they will find meaning. Some of these pursuits include business success, wealth, good relationships, sex, entertainment, and doing well to others. People have testified that while they achieved their goals of wealth, relationships, and pleasure, there was still a deep void inside, a feeling of emptiness that nothing seemed to fill.

King Solomon, the writer of Ecclesiastes, had wealth beyond measure, wisdom beyond any man of his time or ours, hundreds of women, palaces and gardens that were the envy of kingdoms, the best food and wine, and every form of entertainment available. He said at one point that anything his heart wanted, he pursued. And yet he summed up “life under the sun”—a life lived as though all there is to life is what we can see with our eyes and experience with our senses—is meaningless. Why is there such a void? Because God created us for something beyond what we can experience in the here-and-now. Solomon said of God, “He has also set eternity in the hearts of men. Ecclesiastes 1:2; 3:11
