- 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.

- Six Things to Know about SatisfactionSolomon withheld not his heart from any joy and possessed everything that his eyes desired—houses, gardens, riches, pleasures, and delights of every kind. Yet even while guided by wisdom, he concluded, “behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.” Wealth, riches, and pleasure brought no true or lasting satisfaction.
