Solomon's Splendor

PC

“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his soul” (Mark 8:36)

William Wordsworth, one of the greatest English poets, re-echoes the scripture when he says’... Nothing can bring the hour of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower….’ This statement agrees with what Apostle Peter says when he likens man to grass and the glories of man to flowers on the grass, He further states that when the grass withers, the flowers fall off. All that we see today in the world will definitely come to an end. All the wealth, glory and splendor of Solomon came to an end.

My dear youth, as you are pursuing your academic endeavors or doing something to make it in life, remember that nothing last forever. Draw closer to God in true worship and holiness, so that you can book a place in heaven after your sojourn on earth. Many kingdoms have risen and fallen. Great men, like Adolf Hitler, William Shakespeare and Nelson Mandela, all came to limelight, but today they are no more. Life is so short, live it one day at a time with eternity in view.

Challenge: Live with eternity in view

Prayer: Lord teach me to live for you.
