Emptiness
"The conclusion, when all is heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person." - Ecclesiastes 12:13
Do you ever feel like you've done it all? Success, wealth, pleasure, thrills and yet you feel empty inside? Solomon, the ancient king of Israel, was such a man. He had extraordinary success and wealth, incredible intellect, more women and sex than Wilt Chamberlain, and yet it all became meaningless to him. He felt so empty inside because he turned his back on God to pursue all that he wanted for himself.
Solomon was a classic example of a good man who started strong, but turned wrong and wound up empty.
