The Book of Ecclesiastes

May 21, 2023

Passage: Ecclesiastes

Solomon was a very wise man, in fact, the wisest man in all
the lands. Many people went to Solomon to learn from him.
Solomon was a learner, too. He read books and discovered much
about life and God and the world.
Solomon wrote about the things he had learned. Solomon
discovered that how much you own (or how rich you are) or how
smart you are is not important. The most important thing is to love
God and obey Him.
Solomon said, “I have explored and tried many things. I have
studied and read many books. I have made gardens and parks
for myself and planted every kind of fruit tree. I have servants
and animals and beautiful treasures. I can have anything I want
because I am rich and I am the king.”
But none of these things really made the king happy. The king
began to know that people can be happy only when they know God
and love and obey Him.
“God gives us food, water, and everything we need. All of this is
from God,” wrote Solomon. “God gives wisdom and joy.”
Solomon talked about work. “Whatever your hands find to do, do
it with all your strength,” wrote Solomon.
Solomon said: “God is in charge of all things. Everything
happens when God says it will. There is a time for everything, and
everything shows God’s power.”
Solomon wrote about how to treat people and worship God. “Be
joyful in good times and bad times,” said Solomon. “Obey God.”
