It's tempting to take shady shortcuts in life, especially when they work. God gives us many things to enjoy, and the purpose of them is to "clear a path" so to speak and cut through the fog of life so we can make our way to God, rather than take shortcuts.
ABOUT THIS SERIES:
If life sometimes seems empty and meaningless, you aren't alone. One Preacher in the bible even agrees. He surveys his life's great accomplishments and successes, and sees that ultimately, it's all in vain. So what is the point of living? He concludes that in the end, when we live our lives not simply "under the sun," but "unto the Son," all that is meaningless in life takes on great meaning, even eternal meaning, and gives us much to live and hope for.
