- Dust to Dust
Solomon observes that in the place of judgment there is wickedness, and in the place of righteousness there is iniquity. Though he briefly affirms that “God shall judge the righteous and the wicked,” he soon sinks back into despair, declaring that “all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.” From the under-the-sun perspective, man has no preeminence above a beast, and life seems marked by injustice, uncertainty, and meaninglessness. - A Timely Reminder About TimeSolomon teaches that life is to be enjoyed as a gift from God and that true joy and satisfaction come from His hand. God’s works endure forever, and He orders all events so that men may fear Him. Though life repeats itself through the seasons of time, these are not meaningless cycles, for everything serves God’s purpose. Our true security and stability are found in God alone, and only in Jesus Christ can we find hope, meaning, and peace amid the passing of time.
- A Timely Reminder About TimeSolomon presents two responses to God’s ordering of time. The skeptic asks, “What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?” But the believer acknowledges the task God has given and finds comfort in this truth: God has made everything beautiful in its time, and He has set eternity in our hearts. Though life is unfathomable, believers can live with joy and purpose, knowing that God is in absolute control.
- A Timely Reminder About Time“To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” Solomon is not prescribing what we should do, but describing what happens in life. Every event and activity occurs according to a predetermined plan and at its appointed time. Many of these seasons are beyond our control, reminding us that we are not the masters of our own fate, but live under God’s sovereign ordering of time.
- Six Things to Know about SatisfactionSolomon warns that satisfaction cannot be found in a future time such as retirement, for it may never come or may not be enjoyed. He then concludes that “satisfaction can and should be found in God right now.” There is nothing better for a man than to enjoy his labour and the simple gifts of life, knowing that this enjoyment is “from the hand of God.” True satisfaction, joy, and peace are possible only when God gives them.
- Six Things to Know about SatisfactionSolomon observes that wisdom excels folly, yet the same event happens to both the wise and the fool. Death comes to all, and even the successful and pre-eminent are soon forgotten. He then turns to hard work and labour and concludes that all his toil must be left to another who did not labour for it. “For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief… This also is vanity.” Success, pre-eminence, and labour bring no lasting satisfaction.
