- Ecclesiastes 1:12-2:26 -
Solomon’s on a quest. A quest to find the meaning of life a part from God. He’s seeking to find ultimate satisfaction in several different things:
He thought he would find satisfaction in wisdom, but realized wisdom only lead to vexation & death.
Maybe ultimate satisfaction is found in self-indulgence? Nope, that only lead to emptiness.
Lastly, Solomon sought after satisfaction in toil, but concluded that the enjoyment of his toil is temporary.
Conclusion: Ultimate satisfaction is found in a right relationship with God & a proper use of His gifts. Wisdom, self-indulgence & toil are good things but they were never created to be ultimate things. May we look to God for ultimate satisfaction this week & rest in the finished work of the cross!
