LIFE HAS BEEN USELESS......

LIFE HAS BEEN USELESS......

Scriptural Solutions Insight (SSI)

Hmm, it's wisdom, to say this. A life lived to enjoy the wisdom of God and have everything in his time, say MY LIFE HAS BEEN USELESS. What is the Cause? I can't figure it out. There is a time in life when everything you have used your strength, energy, and wisdom to bring together will be useless. To my understanding this morning we have two categories of people who see the uselessness of Life. 1. People who see the uselessness of life from the beginning of their life pursuit. 2. People who see the uselessness of life after the pursuit of life. 

Let me explain further. King Solomon was in the second category. If he has seen the uselessness of life at the beginning of his pursuit. Everything he achieved will be for the Glory of God, even for marrying more wives. When, people who are categorized as knowing the uselessness of life from the beginning of their life, understand that nothing was brought into this world, and it can easily be taken.  So their mind is not on the things, even things, find them, riches, Success, fulfillment. All their focus is to think of having a good end in life. And the good end is only in Jesus.

Solomon enjoyed all the things life offers, Wives, Wisdom, Wealth, Influence, etc. He left God out of the equation.. that's why He said: My life has been useless.. what a word. People start to experience a useless life when God is out of the equation. That you understand the uselessness of life from the beginning doesn't mean your own life will be useless. But taking God out of the equation makes your life useless. Having all things in life doesn't mean you're useful. What makes you useful, is having God in all you have. When! Solomon Encourages us on what is important to do after he explains the uselessness he experienced in life. Let  study the scripture:

Ecclesiastes 12:12-13

12 My child, there is something else to watch out for. There is no end to the writing of books, and too much study will wear you out.

13 After all this, there is only one thing to say: have reverence for God and obey his commands because this is all that human beings were created for.  

In the books of Ecclesiastes, one of the philosophies you must understand about life is that life has no end, and anything can happen to anybody at any time. So you must not do too much, and you must not do a lease. Solomon was saying that we must watch out for something. There is no end to the writing of the book. The writing of the book is occurring to me this morning as Life. Each other's life is like a book with different pages. And you finish a page before reading another page. Too much study about life can easily wear us out. 

The last advice of Solomon in the book of Ecclesiastes should always be our first Focus if we too don't want to experience the total uselessness of life.  V13 After all this, ....... Have reverence for God and obey his commands. Some versions of the Bible used Fear God.  If this is the advice of the man who has enjoyed everything about life. We need to learn to live a useful life from him. Can you believe that you don't need much to live a useful life, all you need is the 2 things Solomon discusses above. 1) Reverence for God. 2) Obey his Commands (word of God).

When you have reverence for God, You have wisdom to know how to be useful in life. 

Prov.9.10 - "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

The fear of the Lord leads you to the beginning of how, and understand what to do. And when a man understands his how and what to do, He finds life easy to live. (Get my book Ancient Wisdom, it's explained better on this). 

To keep understanding what to do, a man needs to keep the Commandments of God and obey all that is written in the word of God. 

Josh.1.8 - Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous.

Josh.1.9 - Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

In conclusion, human beings experience something useless in life when there is no reverence for God, and obey all he commands us to do. To be useful in this one life, and not to regret at the end of your life. You must fear God and obey his words. God bless you. 

I received Grace to be useful, To fear God, and obey him always. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Hope it's insightful.
