King
Solomon wrote about “all is vanity” with man and their everyday routine. After
his long research for man’s purpose of life, Solomon finally came to the
conclusion: “Fear God, and keep His
commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work
unto judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be
evil” (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14).
What
brought this on? It was about the “everyday routine” that I was thinking about.
I ask myself a question: What was the whole purpose of our everyday routine
when Tony and I stayed home a lot. It took time for Tony to regain his strength
with his body and to be able to strengthen his hip and his arm and shoulder.
While
mediating, I came to remember King Solomon and his “futility.” I was curious as
to why I thought of it so I did some research on the word, futility. It came from futile and it means having no
result; useless; concerned with not important things. Futility means useless act. In another word, nothing gain from it. Also vain (vanity) means having no success such
as “all is waste”.
God
did not created us for “nothing.” King Solomon realized that from Ecclesiastes
12:1 and quoted, “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth . . .” So
it applied to me that I am to remember, my Creator . . . so I am singing to my Creator
. . . And it is worthy to worship Him,
to sing unto Him and to remember our Creator who takes pleasures in us.
So
my daily duty is to show great respect to my Creator and to read His Word and
keep His commandment that bring life to my whole being (spirit, soul, mind,
heart and strength). Like David said, “While I live I will praise the Lord;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being” Psalm 146:2.
Song: Oh, How I Love Him!
Oh,
how I love Him!
How I adore Him!
My
breath, my sunshine,
My all in all:
The
great Creator
Became my Savior,
And
all God’s fullness
Dwelleth in Him.

God bless you today!
