The concept of Eternity is certainly difficult to fathom. What does it mean that God has "set this concept in our hearts?"

This passage of the Bible speaks about the passage of time. What can we learn from this?

Last week we followed the writer of Ecclesiastes in his search for happiness and satisfaction. What did he find? What were his conclusions?

The pursuit of happiness consumes us all. In the verses from Ecclesiastes that we look at today, the writer goes on to explore different areas of life in search of happiness and satisfaction.

“After all your hard work, what do you have to show for it in the end?” We have a brief look at the futility of Nature, and of History, as described in the Bible book of Ecclesiastes, the first chapter."

Many of us have asked: “What is the point of everything, of living? What is the purpose of everything?”. We look at the Scriptures, seeking an answer to these questions.

Psalm 131 is a beautiful psalm of trust in the Lord. David, the psalmist, describes his calm contentment in his trust in God. This is our example.

Psalm 131 is very short, but it beautifully instructs us how to trust in God, in all humility. The opposite of humility is pride, and pride is something that the Bible warns against.

The writer of this psalm is looking forward to travelling to Jerusalem to worship. Likewise, our journey through life is often difficult, but ends in a great blessing. Blessed is the man who trusts in his God.

The psalmist expresses his longing to worship God in his temple. Historically, the Israelites all travelled to Jerusalem a few times per year for worship.
