Seek Peace Over Wealth and Status
“Better one handful with tranquillity than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind.” - Ecclesiastes 4:6
The writer of Ecclesiastes encourages us to live balanced lives. While acknowledging that “money answers all things”, the writer also declares that the person seeking silver will never be satisfied with it no matter how much they get.
Those who have studied business have been taught that the goal of a corporation is to maximize profits. While not formally taught, there is often a corresponding belief that individuals should try and make as much as they can to secure their financial futures.
The writer of Ecclesiastes was extremely wealthy. The writer had experienced every pleasure, luxury, and security money could buy. The lesson the writer learned from this: there is nothing more valuable in this life than inner peace and tranquility.
We have to ask ourselves how much is enough. If we have enough, we shouldn’t hesitate to prioritize our peace above wealth and status.
I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.
