Focus on the eternal

‎...I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. My heart took delight in all my work, and this was the reward for all my labor. Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun...So I hated life, because all the work that is done under the sun is grievous to me. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. Ecclesiastes 2:10-11, 17

No matter how much we see, we're never satisfied. No matter how much we hear, we're not content. History repeats itself...Ecclesiastes 1:8-9 NLT

Therefore we do no lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen. For what we see is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
