Anthem Podcast: Chasing the Wind // Ecclesiastes 10:1-20

This week’s passage is both confusing and frustrating. How do these seemingly random proverbs fit in with the larger context of Solomon’s search for the meaning of life? What point is he trying to make? The entire chapter seems as superfluousas the vanity of vanities that he so frequently mentions. In contrast to this, we turned to 1 Kings 8. In this beautiful passage describing young Solomon’s dedication of the temple, we read about the overwhelming glory of the LORD filling His temple. In fact, the glory of our God is the exact opposite of vanity of vanities. He alone can provide identity, worth, purpose, and fulfillment. Tragically, Solomon somehow forgot this. Will we?
