“What’s new?” We’ve heard the question thousands of times. Actually the question was asked centuries ago. “Is there anything new under the sun?” The answer was given in the Bible. “All is vanity and vexation of spirit” (Eccl. 1:14).

So much of life doesn’t matter. Much of what happens today will not be remembered one week, one month, or one year from now. How do we know what is really important? Longing to live a life of value resides in all of us.

“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death” (Proverbs 14:12). There is a solution to the confusion. “In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:6).

Prayer: Dear Lord, You search our hearts and understand our thoughts. When we seek You, You are always there (1 Chronicles 28:9).
