Ecclesiastes 2.10,11 - Shop till you Drop

Ecclesiastes 2.10,11 - Shop till you Drop!...

If you need it, you can probably find it in this city filled with stuff – even if you don’t really need it! And what fun we can have in searching. Meet your friends at the mall. Surf the web. Delivered right to your door. Oh, the joy of kicking it in those new shoes!  Our imagination is only limited by our income. People all over the world have enjoyed obtaining stuff since before the days of Solomon. Retail therapy is an ever-popular palliative. As humans we will need stuff until we drop. Today Qohelet reminds us that joy leaks out of stuff like air from a faulty raft. Meaningless wind. Tragic sinking. Thank God for stuff. In His gracious kindness our Heavenly Father provides our needs and many of our wants. But don’t forget He alone is that pearl of great price who is worth all.
