Monday Morning Perspective

Welcome to the rat race. Ever been there? There now? It's tough and it's hard to know how to get out. Many of us have found ourselves in the rat race never realizing how we got in it and certainly not remembering signing up for it. Somehow, we just find ourselves there. 
We looked at the rat race of Solomon in Ecclesiastes 1:1-11. Solomon entered the race when God was no longer the center of his life. He forgot his life line and became consumed with making a name for himself and ends up disillusioned and cynical. 
Three things about the rat race that Eddie pointed out: it's a rut, it will wear you out, and it's meaningless. 
We have to live above the sun. As Eddie said many claim to not want to be so heavenly minded they're no earthly good, but few of us have met that man. 
Jesus is the answer. Work hard. Play hard. Keep Jesus first. And He will bring meaning to life. If you're tired of the old, come to Jesus. He gives new life.
