Passage of the Day - April 14, 2011

Ecclesiastes 1:5-7

⁵Also, the sun rises and the sun sets;
         And hastening to its place it rises there again.
    ⁶Blowing toward the south,
         Then turning toward the north,
         The wind continues swirling along;
         And on its circular courses the wind returns.
    ⁷All the rivers flow into the sea,
         Yet the sea is not full.
         To the place where the rivers flow,
         There they flow again.

No matter what happens, the sun will come up tomorrow.  No matter how much we think we can control things, we will never be able to control the weather.  God has created this Earth with a perfect balance to maintain cycles that remain for our survival.  Nothing about these cycles changes.  There is no great work we can perform or destructive disaster we can create that will thwart the cycles of life God has put in place.  Therefore, what kind of lasting impact can we really make?  Are we too focused on our legacy, because, in the end, it doesn’t really matter.
