@TheAlanNoble Definitely not a waste of time. Your book has influenced my perspective in a way that has pointed me back to the book of Ecclesiastes and has magnified its beauty and wisdom by giving modern day examples of “meaninglessness.” And then, beautifully pointing it back to God.
Whatever is most precious to you has to be offered up in sacrifice before God will endow it with power for the Kingdom. God won’t bless what you lay claim as your own.
sometimes I read my Bible and walk away with powerful revelations. and sometimes I read my Bible and don't really feel anything at all. both are okay. I don't have to "feel" the presence of God to know that he's with me, he's speaking to me, and he's moving in my life
