Check what you are chasing
Check What You’re Chasing
Ecclesiastes 2:11
“Then I looked on all the works that my hands had done… and indeed all was vanity and grasping for the wind.”
Achievement can be addictive. There is always another goal, another purchase, another accomplishment, another level. But success without meaning eventually leaves the soul hungry.
Solomon had access to almost everything people spend their lives pursuing, yet he discovered that accumulation cannot satisfy what only God can fill.
Ambition is not the enemy. Misplaced ambition is. Make sure what you are chasing is worthy of the life you are spending to obtain it.
Here’s the challenge: If you achieve everything you are currently pursuing, will it actually make your life richer before God?
Action Step: Review your three biggest current goals and ask whether each one aligns with your deepest values and God-given priorities.
Have a purposeful and Victorious Saturday
