Sunday, we took a special look & listen to King Solomon's wisdom in the last book of his trilogy -- Ecclesiastes.
The wisest man in the world shared a few conclusions from his life experiences that we unpacked:
"So I decided there is nothing better than to enjoy food and drink and to find satisfaction in work. Then I realized that these pleasures are from the hand of God. For who can eat or enjoy anything apart from him? God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy to those who please him." (2:24-26)
"God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart..." (3:11)
"Don't let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator
. Honor Him in your youth..." (12:1)
Here now is my final conclusion:
"Fear God and obey his commands, for this is duty of every person."(12:13)
