Ecclesiastes 6:7

Ecclesiastes 6:7

All the labor of man is for his mouth, And yet the soul is not satisfied.
Ecclesiastes 6:7

If you don’t eat, you won’t stay alive. There is a certain satisfaction that comes from working hard and being able to enjoy the literal fruit of your labors. So why does a person eat? So that he can add years to his life. But what good is it for me to add years to my life if I don’t add life to my years. It’s equally important to feed my soul and there is only one way to do that.

Solomon sensed what Moses had already said and Jesus later repeated: Deuteronomy 8:3 …Man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD. The satisfaction for our souls comes from His Word. Let’s not neglect His wonderful nourishment and provision.

A daily dose of His Word,

Pastor Gerard Deleeuw
