Bible in a Year:
For without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?
In a recent film, a self-proclaimed genius rants to the camera about the worlds horror, corruption, ignorance, and poverty, declaring life to be godless and absurd. While such thinking isnt unusual in many modern film scripts, whats interesting is where it leads. In the end, the lead character turns to the audience and implores us to do whatever it takes to find a little happiness. For him, this includes leaving traditional morality behind.
But will do whatever work? Facing his own despair at lifes horrors, the Old Testament writer of Ecclesiastes gave it a try long ago, searching for happiness through pleasure (Ecclesiastes 2:1, 10), grand work projects (vv. 46), riches (vv. 79), and philosophical inquiry (vv. 1216). And his assessment? All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind (v. 17). None of these things is immune to death, disaster, or injustice (5:1317).
Only one thing brings the writer of Ecclesiastes back from despair. Despite lifes trials, we can find fulfillment when God is part of our living and working: for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment? (2:25). Life will at times feel meaningless, but remember your Creator (12:1). Dont exhaust yourself trying to figure life out, but fear God and keep his commandments (v. 13).
Without God as our center, lifes pleasures and sorrows lead only to disillusionment.
How much do you seek happiness through things that wont last? Since the writer of Ecclesiastes didnt know the hope of resurrection, how would you consider his search in light of Romans 8:11, 1825?
God, today I place You anew at the center of my living, working, joys, and disappointments, for without You nothing will satisfy or make sense.
