The Sum of a Great Life
As we conclude this study in Ecclesiastes, Solomon comes full circle by reminding us one more time that everything in life is meaningless. Fortunately, for us he does not leave us hanging on this hopeless note. At the end of this profound and relevant book Solomon provides us with the answer to the question that burdens all of us concerning the meaning of life. Before he answers this question, he offers some final words of advice regarding how we should live our lives. Solomon counsels us to share all that we have and not worry about issues in life that we cannot change. We are also exhorted to enjoy life to its fullest while we have the physical and mental capacity to appreciate all that it offers. After struggling with all of the realities, issues, complexities, and mysteries of this life, Solomon points us to his conclusion regarding the meaning of life – we are to fear God and obey His commandments.
