I have seen all the things that are
done under the sun; all of them are
meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
Ecclesiastes 1:14 (NIV)
Dear Jesus, the older I get the more I tend to get reflective, and when I look back over my life, my choices—well, I get depressed. So much of what I chased after, what I longer for, what I won, later looked meaningless—a mere chasing after the wind.
With the power of Your Holy Spirit, please guide me in all my aspirations and future choices, so that I will be more aligned with Your Devine will and not be frittering away the time I have left on this earth. Amen!
Questions for Pondering…
As I look back on my life, what are some of the things that seem meaningless to me now?
What is more valuable now and why?
