Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3: 1, 22

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.(1) Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that in his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him? 

Scripture Commentary:

What would you say is your purpose in life? Is it to make money or to provide for yourself and/or your family?  Or is it to purchase things you want?

Purpose in life starts with whom we know; not what we have, what we think, or what we know.  It is impossible to fulfill your God-given purpose without knowing God. God is first place in your life.

We have a spiritual thirst and an eternal value, and nothing but the eternal God can truly satisfy the thirst. If wealth, power, and status mean nothing to God, why do you attribute so much importance to them and so much honor to those who possess them?

Do not let material possessions be your purpose in life. What you have in your heart and what you do in your Godly way of living matters to God and endures for eternity.

In this chapter Solomon shows us the cycles of our lives and its the changes These cycles are not to be barriers, but rather opportunities to discover that without God, life’s problems have no lasting solutions. Jesus Christ is the only answer.
