Holy Joy is NOT in Earthly Pleasures
Today's reading is found in Ecclesiastes 7:1-11:6.
I do have to say here that Solomon sounds like he could use some serious help here. His depressed state is actually bringing me down a bit while reading this! Don't worry about me, though. I'll get over it. While it is true that death visits us all at some point, Solomon seemed to be staying with this theme a bit longer than I would have, but then, I'm neither the smartest mortal in history, nor am I inspired by the Lord in all that I write.
Our lives are incredibly short, and perhaps many of us lead pointless lives chasing false hopes. That is why God's hope is a worthy goal. It will sustain us and bring true joy to our lives.
