Chasing After Wind

Pursuing only pleasure is like chasing after wind 
It’s a sign you are carnal and undisciplined
Life is not meaningless, it is a testing ground
Eternity before you, heaven or hell bound?

I am always calling, but many do not hear
Their god is this world and Me they do not fear
Some regard My Words with disdain and ridicule
Stiff-necked and proud they are stubborn as a mule

I ask you to buy from Me gold refined in fire
Read My Word daily to see what I require
Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline
This will prove your love and faith to be genuine

Ecclesiastes 2:1 – “I said to myself, ‘Come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good.’ But that also proved to be meaningless.”

Ecclesiastes 2:10-11 – “I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure.
My heart took delight in all my labor, and this was the reward for all my toil. 11 Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun.”

Luke 8:14-15 – “The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature. 15 But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.”

Malachi 3:5 – “So I will come to put you on trial. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers, against those who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive the foreigners among you of justice, but do not fear me,” says the LORD Almighty.”
