MEANINGLESS
Today's reading: Ecclesiastes 1-2

"But as I looked at everything I worked so hard to accomplish, it was all so meaningless. It was like chasing the wind. There was nothing really worthwhile anywhere." Ecclesiastes 2:11 NLT

I've felt as Solomon felt in this verse.

Disgusted.

Discouraged.

Like I was spinning my wheels in my attempts.

I've sat and surveyed some of the things I've thrown myself in to--and he is right, it all looked so meaningless.

And then I think, and I believe it's only by the Holy Spirit's leading, about what's already been done...

God sent His Son to die on a cross for me, spend three days in a borrowed tomb and rise again!

That's what been done--and everything beyond that is in response to it.

There is nothing I can do to compare.

There is nothing I can do to top that.

So how I live, what I spend my time doing, the legacy I might leave is, only by the grace of God, my reaction to what has already been done by my Savior.

So, yes, when compared to the cross of Christ, everything I do is meaningless, but worshipful.
