Scripture/Text: ; After all, everything we that accumulate from all the work that we do - the little empires that we build - will eventually be left to someone else as an unearned reward. They might even squander it foolishly. Is our work meaningless? In Ecclesiastes 2.17-26, the Teacher continues to offer us wisdom from above the sun, as he contemplates how we can find eternal enjoyment in the things we obtain from our work under the sun - even though we'll have to leave it all behind when we die.
