“What’s the use? Life is futile, nothing will turn out right." This really is a dumb and very sad idea. Many people have this approach to life and are overcome with a feeling of hopelessness and futility. And, this is not a new phenomenon.
With all of his fabulous wealth and power, Solomon became discouraged, even suicidal: “I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind. What is crooked cannot be made straight, and what is lacking cannot be numbered” (vv. 14-15). “Therefore I hated life because the work that was done under the sun was distressing to me, for all is vanity and grasping for the wind” (Ecclesiastes 2:17).
If we focus only on the physical, it can happen to us, as well. But, it shouldn’t!
Your life, your labor is not futile, but is part of God’s great plan for all mankind.
