Looking Back
At certain times in our lives, we take a look back at what we have accomplished especially when we are in a capitalist society where material comforts and high standard of living has become synonymous with the quality and meaning of life. In general, we stress ourselves and work hard to secure a high-paying job, then after material comforts like car and eventually some get married and settle down in a house/home. Its in times of reflections like these when I'm not working late then I pondered over the words of King Solomon (the wisest man in history apart from Christ) when he wrote
'Then I looked on all the works that my hands had done and on the labor in which I toiled; And indeed all was vanity and grasping for the wind. There was no profit under the sun.' Eccel 2:11
And his conclusion to his thoughts,
'Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter; Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man's all. For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil.' Eccel 12:13-14
Think I will follow his words..
