All Will Return to Dust

Verses:  Ecclesiastes 3:16-22

My thoughts about the verses:

We are like all things that live on the earth.  We will die and return to the dust in which we came.  No one can live on their own forever.  We can attempt to do all things on our own yet, what we discover is that we are living in vain.  No matter how much we have here on Earth it will pass away in the end.

You can spend your whole life trying to get wealthy.  You can spend your whole life searching for love.  You can spend your whole life trying to get things.  You can spend your life in search for the hope you need.  Yet, if you do not ask God into your life everything is in vain.

It is not what we get in life that makes us who we are.  We often think that if we are the smartest or wealthiest person then we have no fear.  If we have great talents and love from others we have all we need.  Yet, our Spirit is not filled with the Holy Spirit if we do not ask God into our life.  So all that we have gained will pass away and will be accomplished in vain.

See it is our spirit that lives on.  Those things that we achieve with the help of God will go on even when other things fall apart.  We do not have to be wealthy or the smartest.  We do not have to have to be the most talented and be loved by others.  What we need is God in our hearts.  When we ask for God to save us we will live forever.

Our bodies will pass but our spirits will live on if only we ask God to take away our transgressions.  If we ask God to come into our lives we will have a multitude of blessings.  If we follow God and do the work we are called to do our lives will have meant something.  People in the future will remember us for what we have done for God’s will.  When you live for God your living will not is in vain.  You will see that the work you do for God will benefit you more than anything that you ever tried on your own.

Prayer:

We thank you for love.  We thank you for the gift of everlasting life.  We thank you for giving our life meaning.  Help us turn our lives over to you.  We ask right now God that you come into our life.  Help us to follow you each and every day of our life.  In the name of the Holy One we pray.  Amen

Questions:

Have you truly trusted in God?  Have you given your life over to the Savior?  Are you following God?  Are you spending your life living for God?  Is there something that you need to do today that God is calling you to do?
