Ecclesiastes 2:22-26 ESV
What has a man from all the toil and striving of heart with which he toils beneath the sun? For all his days are full of sorrow, and his work is a vexation. Even in the night his heart does not rest. This also is vanity. There is nothing better for a person than that he should eat and drink and find enjoyment in his toil. This also, I saw, is from the hand of God, for apart from him who can eat or who can have enjoyment? For to the one who pleases him God has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he has given the business of gathering and collecting, only to give to one who pleases God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind...
*Today, I was led to give u more word to start off your week. Ask yourself what are u working for, and who do u put your trust in? Is it that bet u made about tonight's game? Are u living to only pay bills, and struggle day to day? Even more importantly, why are u struggling? God promises us life more abundantly (Ephesians 3:20), so why are u living in turmoil to only make or do the bare minimum to go through more turmoil? Perhaps it is time to evaluate if u are truly putting God first and living according to His will. Ask Him how to handle your money, what to do for your career, how to spend your leisure time, and whether or not you are cursing yourself with the words u speak. Do u even consult and seek Him first? (Matt. 6:33)...He wants to give u advice on ALL things, but u must first trust Him enough to ask for it without making the first move based on your own judgment. Perhaps u can't get ahead because u have forgotten who should be the head of your life...
