“What advantage has the worker from his toil? I have considered the task which God has appointed for men to be busied about. God has made everything beautiful in its time, and has put the timeless in our hearts without us ever discovering, from beginning to end, all of the work which God has done. I recognized that there is nothing better than to be glad and to do well during life. For every man, moreover, to eat and drink and enjoy the fruit of all his labor is a gift from God. I recognized that whatever God does will endure forever; there is no adding to it, or taking from it. Thus has God done that He may be revered.” (Ecclesiastes 3:9-14)
