Lessons from Ecclesiastes

I’m Miriam Neff, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, with Wise Women Managing Money

M Reading Ecclesiastes, I’m reminded of C.S. Lewis’ words “If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.”  King Solomon had it all.  And his ALL was not his source of contentment.

V James 1: 17 echoes this truth. “whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father”  God gives us peace, happiness, and contentment all based on Him.  Not our efforts, as Solomon states so often, pursuing the wind. In the midst of year end celebrations, may our greatest be celebrating God’s goodness, and his gifts to us.
