God is In Control: Making Life Meaningful
Having found only fleeting moments of satisfaction and fulfillment in the pursuit of pleasure, work and study, Solomon exhorts people to search for true joy and contentment in the gifts and opportunities that God provides. Although we may face many problems that seem to contradict God’s plan, we can find rest and reassurance in the holiness and constancy of our heavenly Father. The unexplainable and hard to understand events of life should not be barriers to believing in God, but rather opportunities to discover that, without God, life’s issues have no lasting solutions. Solomon’s main point in this passage is that God is the one who is in control. He is working out His perfect plan in each of our lives so that He will be exalted and glorified in the end.
