Life Under the Sun: Why Does Life Feel Meaningless?

Why does life so often leave us wanting more? We chase success, comfort, experiences, relationships, and control, hoping something in this life will finally quiet the ache within us. Ecclesiastes confronts us with an uncomfortable truth: everything “under the sun” is hebel—fleeting, elusive, and unable to carry the weight of our ultimate hope. We were never meant to find eternal satisfaction in temporary things. The frustration we feel with this broken world is a reminder that we were made for something beyond it. Jesus is coming, and this present age will not last forever. Until then, wisdom means receiving this life as a gift without asking it to be our god—living with gratitude today while anchoring our hope in the age to come.
