Worthless

Read Ecclesiastes 2:1-11

Material possessions, riches, and success do not satisfy. If we think they will, we have believed one of Satan's many lies. This is the theme of the book of Ecclesiastes. As Solomon approached the end of his life, the wisest man to ever live realized that much of what he'd done was just vanity.  It would all fade away like the fog in the sunshine.

What will happen to all our possessions when we die. I'd guess, much of what we've stored back will be discarded as useless by heirs. They might argue and fight over our houses, cars, and money, but at the end of their lives, how much of it will remain? Has it really done them any good? It certainly hasn't made them content or brought them peace.

The only things that will last are the things we've done for God: the kindness we've shown others, our generosity, the souls we've sent seeking Him, and the way we've loved as Jesus did. This is how we store up treasures in heaven. This is what really matters.
