Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 (LSB) 13 The end of the matter, all that has been heard: fear God and keep His commandments, because this is the end of the matter for all mankind. 14 For God will bring every work to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil.
As Solomon aged and approached his final years, he wrote of his observations from all that he had experienced.
His dismay with the things that people expend their energy on, he concluded that our walk and relationship with God is the single most important element of our lives that deserves our utmost attention.
Life is a perpetual wrestling match in our hearts between the desire for pleasure and our awareness of ultimate judgment.
The strength and depth of our love for God will be the biggest determining factor as to which we choose.
And though God does not condemn pleasure simply because it is pleasure, we do need to be cognizant of the repercussions of some pleasures or the overindulgence in pleasure versus obeying God.
But in the end, it is our love for, and our obedience to God that is most important.
All else is vanity and chasing after the wind.
Let us not get swept away by that wind. And, instead, let us be firmly rooted in our love for the Creator of all things, Yahweh, our precious Redeemer.
