Ecclesiastes 3
A time for everything...
What is the point? Meaningless.
If you know that you are going to die, today or tommorrow, why bother. Therefore, v12 I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live; 13 also that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil—this is God's gift to man.
20 All go to one place. All are from the dust, and to dust all return. 21 Who knows whether the spirit of man goes upward and the spirit of the beast goes down into the earth? 22 So I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his work, for that is his lot.
Yes indeed, enjoy the food, the drink, the toil that God has bless.
The key is know that the Lord has blessed, it is not about because we are are waiting to die so there is no need to strive so hard.
Know the blessings, enjoy the blessings. But how can we rejoice in the work if we know that regardless we are going to die? The purpose.
The purpose bring about the meaning, the meaning allow us to enjoy the blessings and rejoice in the things that we are doing.
