Is Everything Meaningless?

Is Everything Meaningless?

"Everything is meaningless," says the teacher, "completely meaningless!" -Solomon [Ecclesiastes 1:1]

I just started reading Ecclesiastes and that sentence is the first sentence. Talk about getting right to it?! The man who the world would still say had it all - fame, power, wealth, wisdom + more kicks off the chapter with "everything is meaningless". He literally had everything and still it was all meaningless. At the end of chapter 1 he shares, "But I learned firsthand that pursuing all this is like chasing the wind." Solomon is acting as a go + tell person here. Dare, we listen?

He lived it, pursued it, chased it and nothing satisfied.

When Solomon was writing this he was FAR FAR far from God. Goodness, imagine with me what Solomon's life would have looked like and what our lives would look like if we pursued God with the intensity with which we pursue the things of this world. Ouch, right?! I am right there with you in that place. Let's not rush right out. Let it break our hearts a bit. Let's confess it. Lament over it. 

Let's lean into and listen to the one who went before us and wrote down these words for our good. God used Solomon to tell future generations: Hey, look I did it. Achieved it. Earned it. Had it. Built it. Whatever it was, I had it. And it was meaningless. All because it was apart from God.

Today I just want to be that friend to you + even myself that says...Hey, look we are getting off track here. Forgetting what's most important. We are distracted. Building our kingdoms instead of HIS. The stuff we are pursuing apart from God is meaningless. 

------------------

What's got your gaze right now? I'll confess mine here and feel free to comment back and confess yours too. Scary? Perhaps. Powerful? Without a doubt! Bring it to the light.

Here is mine:

Last year we moved into a fixer upper. At times this home - a gift from God - has had my gaze. So I fight for the posture to see His faithfulness in that we are even here and that we have the gifts (also from God) to do the work. I fight to remember this home is not just for me or even our family but is a home where the door is always open to just one or even many.

All of the "its" in the home are so very, dare I say, meaningless. Rather, it's the people around our table and the ones that walk through our door (also gifts from God) that breathe meaning into the home. It's where we love God and love others. It's where our Jesus pointing moments happen. It's where these words get typed out. So I praise God for the gift of this home and once again utter, "It's all yours Lord." 

In closing, here's a simple prayer to pray.

Father, Today we choose to give the world our glimpses and You alone our gaze. And tomorrow we will choose again. Day in, day out. Fighting for this posture, less we forget. You have planted eternity in our hearts and we ask that the promised Spirit within us would be stronger than the flesh on us. For our good and Your Glory.

As we pray it. We believe it. We are united in our love for you and trust in you. In Jesus' Name. Amen!

CRYPTO SCAM RECOVERY SUCCESSFUL – A TESTIMONIAL OF LOST PASSWORD TO YOUR DIGITAL WALLET BACK.

My name is Robert Alfred, Am from Australia. I’m sharing my experience in the hope that it helps others who have been victims of crypto scams. A few months ago, I fell victim to a fraudulent crypto investment scheme linked to a broker company. I had invested heavily during a time when Bitcoin prices were rising, thinking it was a good opportunity. Unfortunately, I was scammed out of $120,000 AUD and the broker denied me access to my digital wallet and assets. It was a devastating experience that caused many sleepless nights. Crypto scams are increasingly common and often involve fake trading platforms, phishing attacks, and misleading investment opportunities. In my desperation, a friend from the crypto community recommended Capital Crypto Recovery Service, known for helping victims recover lost or stolen funds. After doing some research and reading multiple positive reviews, I reached out to Capital Crypto Recovery. I provided all the necessary information—wallet addresses, transaction history, and communication logs. Their expert team responded immediately and began investigating. Using advanced blockchain tracking techniques, they were able to trace the stolen Dogecoin, identify the scammer’s wallet, and coordinate with relevant authorities to freeze the funds before they could be moved. Incredibly, within 24 hours, Capital Crypto Recovery successfully recovered the majority of my stolen crypto assets. I was beyond relieved and truly grateful. Their professionalism, transparency, and constant communication throughout the process gave me hope during a very difficult time. If you’ve been a victim of a crypto scam, I highly recommend them with full confidence contacting:

I never imagined that something as beautiful as love could turn into one of the most painful lessons of my life. I met someone online who seemed perfect ,caring, supportive, and genuinely interested in me. Over time, he told me about his success in crypto trading and encouraged me to invest so we could “build our future together.”
At first, everything looked real, I even saw my profits “growing” on the platform. But when I tried to withdraw, the website kept asking for more money taxes, fees, and “verification charges.” Each time I paid, they demanded even more. That’s when it hit me I had been scammed. By then, I had already lost $370,000. I was devastated and ashamed, but I refused to give up. While searching for help online, I found shieldstridehub, a professional recovery agency. Their team treated my case with genuine care and determination. After 1 week of investigation and communication, they were able to track down my lost funds and return them to me.
Getting my money back felt like getting a part of my life back. Shieldstridehub didn’t just recover my funds they restored my hope and trust.

Their official website is as follow www . Shieldstridehub . com

In late 2025, seeking to recover from financial losses my business faced due to the global crisis, I ventured into binary options and forex trading. Unfortunately, I was scammed and lost 9.7 BTC. The emotional toll was overwhelming, leaving me feeling hopeless.
