Thoughts from Ecclesiastes- 3
All things are full of labor; humans cannot express it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. (Ecclesiastes 1:8)
The 5 God given senses that humans possess: sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch keeps their world moving and only a person bereft of one of these is disadvantaged and at poverty regarding that area of his/her life. But some who possess all of these in totality often misuse them, taking for granted the great blessing that God has bestowed upon them.
The preacher Solomon here points out two vital organs, the eye and the ear, which he says are not satisfied with seeing and hearing respectively. Greed, lust and many other kinds of wickedness arise from the misuse of these two senses which God intended for the good of mankind and thus the world that we live in, is in a state of utter chaos; the end result being that the present earth and heavens are destined for total disaster and annihilation, which will bring in to fulfillment Biblical prophecy.
Nevertheless, there's hope for the one who has Jesus Christ as his/her Savior, because God has promised them a new heaven and a new earth where righteousness will last forever.
Best if we use our eyes and ears for the glory of God and for the good of our fellow humans.

Thoughts from Ecclesiastes- 2
The sun also rises, and the sun goes down, and hastens to the place where it arose. The wind goes toward the south and turns around to the north; the wind whirls about continually and comes again on its circuit. All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full; to the place from which the rivers come, there they return again. (Ecclesiastes 1:5-7)
Sometimes life can be dull and monotonous. The routines never end and the Preacher Solomon felt it at a certain juncture of his life. 700 wives and 300 concubines, life could never have been monotonous, one would say, but the fact was, his intimate relationship with God Almighty had been torn apart by his alliance with these very foreign and native women. Life became listless at some point.
Finding peace with, and contentment in God is vital for every human being. A vibrant relationship with God can make a dull worldly routine fade in to obscurity, for our focus is then on the Creator, rather than us. 70-80 years of living on this planet is just a preparation for an eternal life of mammoth proportions, provided one is in a right relationship with the Creator.

Thoughts from Ecclesiastes- 1
"Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher; "Vanity of vanities, everything is vanity." (Ecclesiastes 1:2)
Solomon, son of David, king of Israel, writes about how everything in life finally seemed worthless or futile to him. God had been gracious to him and blessed him in every way, but he had made light of God's blessings by going in to idolatry to please his numerous wives, incurring the wrath of God.
We must never take for granted God's various blessings upon our lives, nor must we make light of his directions for us to live a godly life.
The world and it's lusts will pass away,but he who does the will of God will live forever. (1 John 2:17)
