Ever feel like you've just been "playing" at this thing called life? Ever feel like you've been going through the motions, but have just been missing the point the whole time? It often feels like Solomon had it right-- there is nothing new under the sun... it's all been done or is being done. It sometimes feels like it's hard to find the point in what we do-- especially for those of us who tend to get really wrapped up in what it is we do.
But... (you knew that was coming, right?)
The visions-- the projects-- the things that we get ourselves wrapped up in that are actually from God cannot and will not return void. It's all in the timing. Not our timing, but His. The point is to give Him glory in all we do and to do it with a cheerful heart. We have no idea who might be watching and seeing the light of God shine through us as we do. If we go about things in our own strength and power-- if we expect the glory to be ours, there will be no real joy in what we do. It will be unfulfilling... without point or value.
Solomon might have had it right... there is nothing new under the sun, but everything is made new and beautiful under the SON.
