Weary and Restless?

Ecclesiastes 1: 8

All things are wearisome, more than one can say.

I don’t think there’s been a time in ministry, where I’ve met more weary people.

Relationship issues—Financial stress—Health concerns—and the list could literally go on and on.

I guess that life in general, can be a restless experience.

Maybe our focus though, are on things that don’t really satisfy.

Maybe it’s that our human desire, is never really satisfied.

“I wished I had that—I wished I could buy that—I pray I could see that—I hope one day I can do that…”

Seems rather monotonous to me.

So what is life all about?

Is it merely an empty pursuit of the things, which can never bring satisfaction any way?

I hear some people use the expression during Christmas; “We’re gonna shop til we drop!”

I’ll be willing to bet that won’t bring any lasting peace.

The only thing that can truly satisfy this crazed human hunger, is the Lord God Himself.

He is righteous, so maybe that’s what He meant, when He said we should hunger and thirst after righteousness.

If you’re weary and restless this morning, maybe you need a good dose of the Lord Jesus.

“Lord Jesus, my heart is a bit restless…that is until it finds its rest in You.

Thank You that in You, all things are made new
