October 9, 2020 – Ecclesiastes 5-6

We see the same theme again in these chapters.  A man who lives long years but never takes the time to enjoy those things he works hard, better to be an infant born dead.  This book started out saying everything is vanity.  He is going through just about all the examples of what life may bring and showing how they do not satisfy.  Everything we do for worldly gain will only leave us with one more thing to do.  There is no rest for the wealthy man.  The more you have, the more there is for others to try and devour it.  Seek what you need, what the Lord provides you, not for an abundance of worldly goods, and you will find a peaceful and restful life.
