Read the Bible in a Year 
This morning read Ecclesiastes 4--6 


What Makes Life Better? 


Please think on these words of Solomon the rest of the day, 

11	Since there are many things that increase vanity,
	How is man the better? 
	(Ecc. 6:11). 

We add, we add, and we add, hoping to make life better. Does it work? It does for a while. Like a child who excitedly receives a new toy, but soon, the toy does not satisfy anymore, and he tosses it aside and goes back to playing in the big box that the neighbors threw away. Therefore, life is getting down to the basics. All these other things are nice, but not necessary for the betterment of what is truly life. Think today on what makes you better.
