Morning Light Ecclesiastes 6

Today: [Ecclesiastes 6] How Much is Enough? In Ecclesiastes 6 Solomon speaks of the vanity of riches. Many times we can be distracted by the material things of life to the exclusion of spiritual priorities. We work in pursuit of nicer things for ourselves or our families and our spiritual life suffers because there is only so much time in the day to give over to higher priorities such as living for God. Solomon stands on the other side of attainment and material wealth and declares that the effort we put forth for natural acquisition in the end only produces vanity and vexation of spirit if our heart is not focused in pursuit of a deeper life in God.
