The Quest for Meaning

Every person is searching for meaning.

Every person is looking for something to tell them that their life is worth something. At the core of that desire is a Biblical truth: you matter, and your life has been designed to make a difference.

As counterintuitive as it feels, the Bible teaches that mattering in this life has very little to do with what we accumulate, achieve, or acquire. Mattering happens when a person knows they are valued and knows they have value to give.

This means that the answer to our search isn't found in what we store up for ourselves — it's discovered in what we give away.

The Upside Down - The Paradoxical Commandments - Do It Anyway

As we continue our conversation from the last couple weeks, I want us to get insight from King Solomon who wrote some words all the way back in the third century BC. While it was written thousands of years ago, the issues in his life are very contemporary. The king is searching for meaning, happiness, and fulfillment…the very same thing all of us long for…and in his search…he looks to the very things people in our world normally look to find fulfillment: Power, Comfort and Security, Success, Recognition, Acclaim, and Celebrity…but King Solomon has all of these and nothing seemed to satisfy.
