Is It All Just Meaningless?

As Bold As Lions Podcast

And whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them. I kept my heart from no pleasure for my heart found pleasure in all my toil, and this was my reward for all my toil. Then I considered all that my hands had done and the toil I had expended in doing it, and behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was nothing to be gained under the sun. Ecclesiastes 2:10-11
The title of this podcast is a play off of Solomon’s theme in Ecclesiastes. If I’m honest, it’s probably one of my least favorite books to read because it has a lot of “downer” stuff in it. It’s not all sunshine and roses (not that the rest of the Bible is). But it is real. Sometimes that real-ness is a tough pill to swallow. But there is truth and there is a redeeming message in the book if we are willing to discover it. With this groundwork laid, we're diving into some themes from Ecclesiastes and some takeaways that we can use to encourage our walk in the Lord.
