March 10, 2026, Ecclesiastes 6:1-12
6 There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, and it
lies heavy on mankind: 2 a man to
whom God gives wealth, possessions, and honor, so that he lacks
nothing of all that he desires, yet God does not give him power to enjoy
them, but a stranger enjoys them. This is vanity; it is a grievous
evil. 3 If a man fathers a hundred children and
lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is
not satisfied with life's good things, and he also has no burial, I
say that a stillborn child is better off than he. 4 For
it comes in vanity and goes in darkness, and in darkness its name is
covered. 5 Moreover, it has not seen the sun
or known anything, yet it finds rest rather than he. 6 Even
though he should live a thousand years twice over, yet enjoy no good—do
not all go to the one place?
7 All the toil of man is for his mouth, yet his appetite is
not satisfied. 8 For what advantage has the wise
man over the fool? And what does the poor man have who knows how to
conduct himself before the living? 9 Better is
the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the appetite: this also
is vanity and a striving after wind.
10 Whatever has come to be has already been named, and it
is known what man is, and that he is not able to dispute with one stronger
than he. 11 The more words, the more vanity, and
what is the advantage to man? 12 For who knows what
is good for man while he lives the few days of his vain life, which
he passes like a shadow? For who can tell man what will be after him
under the sun?
These verses remind us that a relationship with God is the
only thing that truly matters. Wealth, fame, things of earth will not
satisfy or replace joy that comes from God?
What does it take to truly surrender to God and be grafted
in Him?
Are you trusting God’s sovereignty and will for your
life?
