Ecclesiastes 6:9

"What the eyes see is better than what the soul desires. This too is futility and. striving after wind."What the eyes see is better than…" -"better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire" (KJV); "Better aim at what lies in view than hanker after dreams" (Knox).

Points To Note:

1 Constantly longing for more is futile. 2. Too many of us spend too much time daydreaming for what we consider to be the ideal_________, instead of realizing the true wealth and enjoyment which is right before our eyes. Too many of us are living in the earthly future, rather than the present. We think that something in the earthly future (marriage, children, career, home, vacation home, new car, retirement, vacation, etc…) will bring the happiness that we are so desperately trying to find. Instead of thinking, "I can't wait until…..", why don't we say, "Today is going to be. great day, everything that this life can offer me can be found today, can be found right now".
