Work
“Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is
grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit. Yea, I hated all my
labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man
that shall be after me. And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a
fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and
wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.” (Ecclesiastes 2:17-19)
Today’s Morsel: They say
that no one on their deathbed ever said that they wish they had spent more time
at work. I saw a bumper sticker once that said, "A bad day of
fishing is a better day than a good day at work every time." Solomon
seems to caution us to life lessons about work. He said that he hated
labor because everything that he had gained was useless because it was going to
be left to someone else when he dies. And he said that he doesn’t know if
the person it is left to will be wise with it or foolish. I believe in an
honest day's work, yet how sad for a person to spend all their days working and
never have learned to enjoy life. How about you, have you smelled any
roses lately?
Sing: Life is good cause God is.
Life is good cause I’m His. Springing up new life, growing in the sun,
walking hand and hand and having some fun. Life is so so good.
Thought For Today: Gone
Fishin'!
