He Had it all

He Had it all
...here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.Ecclesiastes 12:13
If anyone ever 'had it all' Solomon did. Knowledge, power, and the biggest bank account ever! On top of that his house was full of 100's of beautiful women, plus he was a famous writer, a connoisseur of fine wines and his dinner parties resembled 'lifestyles of the rich and famous'. In his spare time he built magnificent palaces, gardens and parks! But here's the amazing thing: Solomon never found fulfilment in his unlimited possessions, power or pleasure (and he really did try... read Ecclesiastes and see for yourself!). That's why he made this statement near the end of his life, 'Here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.' So there you have it. Solomon, one of the most powerful and people who ever lived - saying, "Take it from a guy who's tried it all: This world, despite all its glitz and glamour, cannot fill the empty place in your soul. Only a relationship with God will satisfy your deepest longings'. So, what about you? Have you found the ultimate fulfilment that only Jesus Christ can bring? Open your heart to Him. Ask Him to forgive your sins and fill you with His life and love. Then spend your days getting to know Him. That's the smartest move you can ever make. And that's the way to true riches.

Father, today I surrender all my earthly pleasures, for heavenly membership. Lord, accept my sinful soul and sacrifice, in Jesus name amen!
