Worship that leaves one empty

I have been reading in Ecclesiates lately. It is very interesting to read the author's struggle with what he observes in life. Several times in the first few chapters he talks about how people strive & work hard to attain wealth - and actually achieve that wealth. The problem is, they never seem to get to the place where they can fully enjoy what they have achieved.

In Eccl. 6: 3 he writes "... yet no matter how long he lives, if he cannot enjoy his prosperity and does not receive proper buriel, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he." It is interesting to note that it is very often true that those who strive so hard to achieve wealth and success, never seem to be able enjoy their wealth - and rest.

I think it all comes down to worship. What is it that we worship? What is it that we bow down do and serve? We will receive our reward according to whom or what we worship. If we worship money, we will never be satisfied. After all, how much do you have to have until you have enough? "Just a little bit more."

It is only as we worship God, the One who created this universe, the One who holds all things in his hands, that we will find true happiness, fulfillment and rest.
