Isis, Ebola, the Ukraine. Our world is torn by wars, natural disasters, conflict and epidemics. But in spite of all this suffering, or perhaps because of it, people are in a mad pursuit of pleasure. The common philosophy for many is “eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die.” King Solomon, whose story is told in the Bible, believed in that philosophy and his opportunities were limitless. He had the resources of his kingdom, and enormous harem, and his appetites were unrestrained. But when all the shouting died down, he concluded, “all is vanity.” He found that pleasure did not satisfy him-only God could do that. In the end Solomon recognized that the only sensible course was “Fear God and keep His commandments….for God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether good or evil.” If refuse God’s loving offer of forgiveness, cleansing, welcome into His family and the gift of eternal life now, we will face Him in eternity as our Judge.
