Ecclesiastes 1:14 (NKJV) 14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.<\/p>\n

Last July I turned 60 years old.<\/p>\n

It was kind of a weird feeling, to be honest.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t feel 60. Not at all. I love the outdoors and I love to be active; bass fishing, bike riding, walking and just taking in the beauty of God\u2019s incredible creation.<\/p>\n

Despite still doing all of that, I am<\/em> 60. And because I\u2019m 60, I have seen some stuff.<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t traveled around the world. It\u2019s not really that kind of stuff that I\u2019m referring to.<\/p>\n

When I say that I\u2019ve seen a lot of things, I\u2019m referring to everyday things; stuff that we all see in life. And over the many years of my life, I have grown to love some things about life.<\/p>\n

But I will readily tell you that almost everything that people love or get excited about is vanity and grasping for the wind.<\/p>\n

Some of the things that would be exceptions to this would be our walk with God, the love we share with our spouse, our family and our children.<\/p>\n

All else, including hobbies, careers, physical appearance, material possessions, financial status, social status, etc., are all nothing more than vanity and chasing after the wind.<\/p>\n

You see, in the end. All that matters is our relationship with our Creator, the God of heaven and earth.<\/p>\n

He is the One who breathed life into us. He is the One who gave our heart the rhythm of its beat. He is the One who spoke the worlds into existence. And He is the One who redeemed us through the blood of His only Son, Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

So, it\u2019s important that we truly understand this and keep everything in its proper perspective and proper place.<\/p>\n

And when we feel like we\u2019re starting to get caught up in the things and the ways of this world, let us be reminded that it is all vanity and grasping for the wind; a vapor that passes as quickly as it materialized.<\/p>\n

Pursue God and put Him first in everything. In that alone is true satisfaction.<\/p>\n
