Therefore the people wander like sheep; they suffer affliction because there is no shepherd. Zechariah 10:2 (CSB) Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring—what your life will be! For you are like vapor that appears for a little while, then vanishes. James 4:14 (CSB) For the creation was subjected to futility—not willingly, but because of him who subjected it—in the hope Romans 8:20 (CSB) 2. Life is repetitious when we leave God out. 3. Life is disappointing when we leave God out. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. John 10:10 (NASB 95) ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/fbcwf-7291722/episodes/when-having-it-all-still-leaves-you-empty-ecclesiastes-1-1-11/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/fbcwf-7291722/when-having-it-all-still-leaves-you-empty-ecclesiastes-1-1-11.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
