The Burden of Life We Place on Ourselves

Feeling like life has become a burden?  Open the book of Ecclesiastes.  A tough read for sure but one that is more than applicable to our western world today.

Philip Yancy comments that it is a book that "insists that the stones we trip over are good things in themselves: 'He has made everything beautiful in its time' (3:11).   Yet, by assuming a burden we were not meant to carry, we turn nudity into pornography, wine into alcoholism, food into gluttony, and human diversity into racism and prejudice.  Despair descends as we abuse God's good gifts; they seem no longer gifts and no longer good."
