Grasping for the wind

10/11/2016

 
Sometimes there are those things that we devote ourselves to knowing, having, or experiencing, that demand a disproportionate amount of personal investment compared to their real value. At the end of such pursuit, we are often left disappointed and depleted rather than fulfilled. Solomon compares it to grasping for the wind and he calls is vanity. (Ecclesiastes)

The things of the greatest value are the things that have been freely given to us by a Loving God. They present themselves to us every day. Things rich in Faith, Hope, and Love never leave one disappointed and depleted. In Christ is found perfect satisfaction all the time, every time.

13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. - 1Corinthians 13:13
11 Then God said to him: “Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice, 12 behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, ......... - 1 Kings 3:11-12
