Ecclesiastes 5:14 says, But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand.  Fortunes are never enough, and often people chasing them lose everything in the chase.  We read often of those who have made a fortune losing everything by attempting to find a way to have even more, sometimes even by illegal means.  They would have left their children a fortune, but instead have nothing to leave them.  We can never find security in the riches of this world, but we can find security in God.  When we acknowledge that everything is under God's control, from our lives to our material possessions, then we can life a purposeful and peaceful life.  When we teach our children about God we can leave them something more important than riches if they will listen.  That is all that we can leave that has any lasting value.  Verse fifteen says, As he came forth of his mother’s womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.  We come into this world with nothing, and we leave the same way. There is the old question of what does a person leave when he dies, and the answer is everything.  We can take nothing with us, but often cling tightly to everything, even as the end nears.  Whether it is a state funeral viewed by millions, or a poor man's funeral viewed by none, both take the same thing with them.  Whether adored or ignored by most of the world, both face God the same way.  Verse sixteen says, And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind?  In all points, as we came we shall go.  When it comes to the time of leaving this world, we will find that all our works for material things will be like the wind, blowing away to nothing.  I believe Solomon made this point over and over because people too often fail to understand it.  We will never find everlasting happiness in the things of this world, so we should never count them as too important.
