Don’t chase the wind

Ecclesiastes 1, 2

Solomon spent his life chasing whatever he wanted. He was king. He could do whatever he jolly well wanted. By his own admission, he chased everything “Under the sun.” His conclusion: it’s all meaningless and its like chasing the wind. It keeps moving but has NO SUBSTANCE nor value.

God obviously created the wind and He uses it for His purposes.

I used to have a yard with tons of leaves in it. If I waited long enough, the wind would carry away most of them. I used the wind to my advantage. A sailor can use the wind to propel his vessel by hoisting sales. God can use the wind to bring His Holy Spirit to you like He did in the early church. [Acts 1,2]

We are wise when we use the wind rather than chasing it.
