Rooted Beyond the Vapor

We all spend our lives moving toward something, but the destination we choose is not always the one we were created for. Ecclesiastes invites us to consider our telos, our ultimate purpose and end. While so much of life "under the sun" feels temporary and elusive, like vapor that cannot be held onto, Scripture reminds us that true meaning is not found in chasing achievement, pleasure, or success. It is found in God Himself. Humanity flourishes when we live in awe of the Lord and faithfully cultivate the life He has called us to through joyful obedience. Though everything else passes away, a life rooted in God is never wasted because it is aligned with the purpose for which we were created.
