What really matters in life? Family?….Friends?…Church?….Work?…Yourself?  How would you answer this question?

God answers this question in His Word. He uses one of His servants (Solomon) who was blessed with every form of power, privilege, popularity and prosperity to raise this question. One entire book (out of 66) in the Bible is dedicated to this very question….what matters in life? Really?

The book in the Bible is Ecclesiastes (You can begin reading and reflecting on this great book and Word from God here. A great explanation on this book by an excellent Bible teacher can be found here.). In it, Solomon evaluates life and comes up with His conclusion to “what really matters in life”…which by the way is God’s conclusion as well…He gives the conclusion in Ecclesiastes 12:13….he says that when everything is said and done, after everything has been evaluated, all that really matters in life is to “Fear God…and do what He tells you.”

Pretty Simple (I didn’t say easy!). Pretty Powerful.

So, where are you on this? What really matters in your life? Does your life show it?
