Never Enough: Wealth, Contentment, and What Really Satisfies | Ecclesiastes 5–7
Episode Overview
Why is it so hard to ever feel like we have enough? In this episode we walk through Ecclesiastes 5 through 7. The Teacher observes that the love of money is a bottomless cup—the more we have, the more we want—while a person with little often sleeps more soundly than the troubled rich.
He reflects on the sorrow of wealth that can't be enjoyed, and offers counterintuitive wisdom: a house of mourning can teach us more than a house of feasting, and honest correction can do more good than empty praise. Wisdom means matching our response to what the moment calls for.
