King Solomon, soul searching after sobering up from the intoxication of devoting one's life on earthly pursuits, recollected and concluded: "I have seen all the things [great and small] that are done under the sun; all of them are pointless, a chasing after the wind." (Ecclesiastes 1:14)
Every moment of life is precious and its pursuits can find true meaning only when it is devoted to living for God. And when life is lived that way, every godly pursuit bears truly meaningful fruit in its God-appointed season; because to every divine purpose there is time appointed.
