Ecclesiastes 2:1-11 (FAV - Facebook Applications Version)

Pleasures Are Meaningless

I thought in my heart, "Come now, I will test you with facebook applications to find out what is good." But that also proved to be meaningless. "Laughter," I said, "is foolish." And what does pleasure accomplish?" I tried cheering myself with SuperPoke!, and embracing Daily Horoscope—my mind still guiding me with wisdom. I wanted to see what was worthwile for men to do inside Facebook during the few hours in a day.

I installed popular applications: I built Cafe World for myself and planted FarmVille. I made Garden World and Parking Wars and invented MindJolt Games in them. I made neighbour features to entertain crowds of active users. I bought male and female pets from Pet Society and had other animals who were born in PetVille & Zoo World. I also owned more fishes in Fishville and rollercoaster rides in Rollar Coaster Kingdom than anyone in the friends list before me. I amassed silver and gold for myself in Texas Hold'Em Poker, and the treasure of kings and provinces in Three Kingdoms Online. I acquired men and women gangsters in Mafia Wars, and an Are YOU Interested application—the delights of the heart of man. I became greater by far than anyone for Challenge Sudoku in the friends list before me. In all this my wisdom stayed with me.

I denied myself nothing my friends sent;
I refused my heart no gift requests.
My heart took delight in all my character levels,
and this was the reward for all my long hours in Facebook.

Yet when I surveyed all that my hand had clicked
and what I had stayed online to achieve,
everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind;
nothing was gained under the sun.

(Composed by myself to share with people to have a laugh & reflect the time we spent in Facebook... Adapted from the NIV Bible)

Jeremiah 17:9-10 (New International Version)

9 The heart is deceitful above all things
and beyond cure.
Who can understand it?

10 "I the LORD search the heart
and examine the mind,
to reward a man according to his conduct,
according to what his deeds deserve."

Timely encouragement...

God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble. [Psalm46:1]

How timely is God's Word... Just when I was too bothered with the many things that I needed to do, I came across this verse... How comforting to know that God's always there for us to seek refuge and help!

I wanna learn to rely more on You Lord... because apart from You, i can do nothing...

Listening to Your still small voice......

Philippians 3:12-16...

"Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained."

How true... Thank you Lord...
