Ecc 6:9-12 weekly devotion

Ecclesiastes 6:9 King James Version (KJV)
9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

Ecclesiastes 6:9 The Voice (VOICE)

9 It is better to enjoy what our eyes see than to long for what our roving appetites desire. This, too, is fleeting, like trying to embrace the wind.
