Just Ordinary Life by Mark I.R. Petalcorin Video

Just Ordinary Life by Mark I.R. Petalcorin. This is the acoustic version of an original song I wrote a few years ago. I was probably reflecting at that time the wisdom of the Ecclesiastes writer on the vanity of life..."For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?" At the end of the day, we're all just passing by, but we shall never pass this way again.

The Ecclesiastes writer thought that there is no state in which people can live to have perfect quietness in this life, referring to depraved life apart from the Maker. I think life will be more appreciated by a regenerated individual who has realized the very purpose of why everything is created in the first place. I believe it's not random, for even every hair in every unique individual's body are numbered by the Creator!

Wesley's Notes:
"6:12 Who knoweth - No man certainly knows what is better for him here, whether to be high or low, rich or poor. Vain life - Life itself is a vain and uncertain thing, and therefore all things which depend on it must be so too. While - While it abides, hath nothing solid, or substantial in it, and which speedily passes away, and leaves no sign behind it. For - And as no man can be happy with these things while he lives, so he can have no content in leaving them to others, because he knows not either who shall possess them, or how the future owners will use or abuse them."
