Live Today, While It's Still Today

                                        Ecclesiastes 2:24
                         "There is nothing better for a man, than
                           that he should eat and drink, and that
                                   he should make his soul 
                                       good in his labor"

        Solomon reflected on all that he had accomplished, and the result of it all was emptiness and had become unprofitable.  Solomon had not learned how to restrain his desires and therefore his feelings had become "vanity and vexation of spirit."  We must pay attention to what Solomon is saying!  Solomon was not expressing that man should keep the pleasures that he enjoys in his life in perspective with his responsibility to God. (1 Tim 4:4,5; 6:17).
        What we should understand is that all good things that come about as a result of the fulfillment of fleshly desires are empty and unprofitable.  However, if a man works diligently acknowledging that God's hand is on his life, he will be blessed.  Man must exhibit a pure heart in all his actions, and the way to do that is to "do all to the glory of God" (1 Cor. 10:31.    Amen!!!
