The Preacher's Conclusion to Life


King Solomon was the wisest man that has walked this earth (1 Kings 3:10-14) and after all was said and done this is what he had to say:

"I the Preacher have been king over Israel in Jerusalem. And I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom all that is done under heaven. It is an unhappy business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. I have seen everything that is done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and a striving after the wind." - Ecclesiastes 1:12-14

Today if I came across the sayings of the wisest man on earth, I may just listen to what he says and take it to heart.  Maybe there are people who think they are smarter than Solomon and are trying to prove him wrong?

In the end it is all void of any eternal value, but in Jesus there is fullness of joy and it only gets better in eternity.

"The end of the matter, all has been heard. Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil." - Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
