Watching Daily At Wisdom's Gates

Focus. It's not all it's cracked up to be.  What we focus on is more important than whether we focus in the first place. If we only focus on what we can see, we'll be short sighted. We focus on what matters to us. If we like gaming, we focus on gaming. If we like gardening, DIY or sports; you guessed it: we focus on those things. There's not necessarily anything wrong with hobbies and leisure activities, but I would argue that they shouldn't be our focus. Neither, in my opinion, should weighter things like money, sex and power. None of what I've mentioned is intrinsically wrong, but they shouldn't be our primary focus. There was a very wise man, the second wisest ever after God incarnate, who dabbled in lots of foci to try and find meaning. He even tried wine as a focus for his life, and of course ended up with a regretful hangover as he overindulged. Solomon, as he was named, was famed for focusing on women. Nothing wrong with a wife, but Solomon overdid it

  Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity. Ecclesiastes 1:2 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/ecc.1.2.ESV 'God wants you to be healthy, wealthy and happy' says the charlatan. 'Meaningless' says the Biblical preacher. This worldly life is ultimately meaningless. It doesn't matter whether we're healthy or sick, rich or poor, happy or sad. This life is meaningless without God. We can try, like the preacher, to find meaning in all sorts of other things, but we will inevitably fail. The preacher tried and failed to find meaning in all sorts of things that conveniently begin with w. Wine, women, wealth, work and even wisdom are all vain outside of God. Thankfully, the preacher discovered true meaning. The meaning of life is to worship God, whether we're healthy or sick, rich or poor, happy or sad. He is worthy of our worship, for He sent His Son to give His life for us. He is eternally worthy of our worship and in Him we find me
