Ecclesiastes

There's an old Beatle's song that has the words of Ecclesiastes as its focus. Truly the has made everything beautiful in his time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from the beginning to end (3:11).

What an amazing thought that God has set eternity in our hearts. At the very core of our being, the Lord has placed eternity. The very thing that we have been searching for (purpose) has already been placed in our lives. Eternity isn't so much about the golden streets and the crowns of rejoicing. The central focus of eternity is Christ. His life, his ways, his thoughts, his actions and his ideas. And yet, we are so frail and feeble that we cannot grasp it. We jump and try to grasp that which is ungraspable in the natural. Only by faith do we see the eternal. We need a new set of lenses, spiritual ones, to recognize the work that God has performed. It's so measureless and unfathomable. The natural man has no grasp on the eternal. Only the spiritual man can assertain what is from God. May God grant us the ability to see his hand in our lives.
