God Reflections: Ecclesiastes 1 by ric gustafson
Solomon was a complex person. He was King David's son. He inherited the throne of the kingdom of Israel. He asked God for wisdom. He received more wisdom than he asked for. He was the richest man in the world. He had the good life. The truth was even with everything he had, Solomon was disillusioned with life.
Today's word from Ecclesiastes is vanity vanity all is vanity. You could also say meaningless everything is meaningless. Life is not about power, possessions, prestige or popularity.
We all hunger for meaning. We all hunger for God.
What is the purpose of life?. It is to love God and love one another. With God in our hearts, we need to be thankful every day.
