Ephesians 2: 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—
Paul explains what had Solomon so upset in today's verses from Ecclesiastes. Solomon was old, and he had enjoyed and accomplished much, but now he sees that he will die. This leaves him hopeless. All that he has accomplished could easily be undone by his foolish heirs. Paul knows that our lives are not meaningless and that's not because of anything we did. It's because Jesus came to save us.
Prayer: Lord, Your gift to us makes life worthwhile. We live, because Your son died for us. We don't deserve our blessings here on Earth, and we certainly don't deserve life eternal with You. Forgive us our weaknesses, and guide us on the path which leads to You in heaven.
Amen
