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

What is it that we are trying to accomplish each day? What or whom are we chasing after?<\/p>\n

Lately I have been taking a good look at my life to see if I am spending my time here on this earth wisely.<\/p>\n

Think about it, we only have so many years here. And they go by quickly; more quickly than most of us realize.<\/p>\n

Am I doing what God has called me to do, or am I just mimicking the way we think we are supposed to do things according to this world?<\/p>\n

Boy, wouldn’t the devil love to get all God’s children grasping for the wind?<\/p>\n

Jesus didn’t have a place to lay His head. He didn’t have a place He called home. He was always busy doing His Father’s will.<\/p>\n

Now, we understand Jesus was God’s Son, and He was perfect. His mission was clear.<\/p>\n

But even though He was God in the flesh, He had emotions, feelings, desires and needs. He was a man, just like we are. He got tired.<\/p>\n

Matthew 8:20 (NKJV) 20 And Jesus said to him, \u201cFoxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

There was nowhere for Him to lay His head. He kept focused on His purpose and didn’t worry about comfort and material things.<\/p>\n

That is the word I keep hearing over and over. Keep focused!<\/p>\n

Wake up each day and know what we are going to do for the day. Have a plan and stick to it. Don’t stray from it unless the Holy Spirit leads us in another direction.<\/p>\n

2 Timothy 4:2 (NKJV) 2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.<\/p>\n

Life here is temporary. This place is not home. It’s our mission field.<\/p>\n

And our time here goes by quickly. So, let us be busy each day spreading the good news and being ready, in season and out of season.<\/p>\n

If we do this, we will not miss out on anything worthwhile, for the rest is all vanity.<\/p>\n

Let us not be grasping for the wind. Follow God’s purpose, not the worlds way of living!<\/p>\n

Amen.<\/p>\n
