As King Solomon continues to grapple with the realities of life's brevity and the meaning behind it, he finds one thing that never changes. God is eternal and He is not constrained by time. While we have such a short time to live, He is everlasting. God sees the world in its fullness, including past, present and future. We are born with a desire to search for meaning and purpose, but in our search we find ourselves frustrated and empty. Only God can fulfill our longing to understand life and our purpose for being here. We are here for God's glory and purpose. He uses us in our frailty to reveal His strength; He choose us despite the fact He does not need our help with anything. God has planted eternity in the human heart. In our full surrender, He gives us eternity with Him through Jesus' sacrifice for all we could not reconcile. In our yielding, we see true joy in a sacrifice of love and true meaning in a life surrendered to our sovereign Creator.   Ecclesiastes 3:1-15 Kenny Nix, Pastor
