Ecclesiastes 5:10–6:12
“He who loves money will not be satisfied with money…” — Ecclesiastes 5:10
Week 5 of Finding Meaning Under The Sun reminded us of a hard truth: no amount of money, success, comfort, or possessions will ever satisfy the human soul. Solomon had everything the world says should fulfill a person, yet he still called it “vanity”, chasing after the wind.
Temporary things were never meant to hold eternal weight. Your soul was never designed to be satisfied by things. It was designed to be satisfied by God.
We spend so much of life chasing “just a little bit more,” thinking the next thing will finally bring peace, security, or contentment. But apart from God, the appetite never stops. Money can buy temporary comfort, but it cannot carry the weight of your soul.
True contentment isn’t found in having more, it’s found in knowing the One who never leaves us. Jesus is better than everything we keep chasing.
