RUN BEHIND THE WIND ...

I have considered all the works that are done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity, and to run after the wind. Ecclesiastes 1:14

Have you ever been angry with yourself after realizing that you spent a long time doing an action that did not make sense? I have! I remember as a child from a broken jar that was stuck in the trash. Hidden, I decided to paste. I started by joining the larger pieces and finished with the smaller pieces. To my surprise, he was missing a few pieces. But still, I let it dry. After a few hours I went to check the result of my dedication: A Frankenstein jug, which did not stop the water. The only thing I noticed was that it was for people to make fun of me. Result: I immediately threw it in the trash.

Solomon, after a lifetime of observations, has found that the great majority of human actions are meaningless, are carried out for vain reasons, most often driven by vanity. It's like he says: an incessant chase after the wind.

Today, when I woke up, I awoke with this verse in my mind and my prayer was that God would help me to see life with his eyes and not lose my precious time with vanity and running after the wind.

Have you run after the wind? It sounds crazy, does not it? But this is how God sees us when we dedicate our lives to pursuing dreams, desires and accomplishments that do not lead us to a life closer to heaven. May the Father on this day give us the wisdom necessary to understand the real meaning of life.
