Wisdom

Sep 7, 2025    David Edmonds

In this powerful exploration of wisdom and purpose, we delve into the book of Ecclesiastes, particularly focusing on Solomon's profound insights. The central message reminds us that pursuing worldly success, wealth, or pleasure without God at the center is ultimately futile - like 'chasing after the wind.' Solomon, despite his unparalleled wisdom and wealth, found everything 'meaningless' without a relationship with God. This serves as a stark warning for us today, challenging us to examine our own pursuits and priorities. Are we building our lives on the solid rock of God's love, or the shifting sands of worldly ambitions? The message encourages us to find true fulfillment by centering our lives on God, enjoying His blessings, and living with eternal perspective. It's a call to step off the 'hamster wheel' of meaningless striving and embrace a life of purpose and joy in God's presence.
