In our realities of this life, it is easy to become discouraged. We come to understand hard times, confusion and death are all part of life. When we dwell on things that seem bleak, we can become inwardly focused and anxious wondering what the point of living actually is. If it all ends anyway, why do we strive for excellence, love or even pleasing God?  Even Solomon, with all his God given wisdom, pondered these things. He came to understand nothing under the sun has meaning unless it is centered around God. God actually gives meaning to the meaningless in and of life. Life only has meaning because of God, which means everything under the sun has meaning. There is hope in the hopeless situation, light in the darkest night and life in death's shadowy valley. We can trust Him fully because Jesus changes everything.   Ecclesiastes 2:12-26 Kenny Nix, Pastor
