Ecclesiastes 11:1 12:14
The book of Ecclesiastes (in the bible) gives King Solomons experiences when trying to find life under the sun. And Solomon realized that life was not monotonous but filled with challenging situations from God, each in its own time and each for his own purpose.
He also learn that wealth could be enjoyed and employed to the glory of God. Now lets look at the question, what life is all about?
CHALLENGE: Live by Faith Here Solomon used two activities to illustrate his point: The merchant sending out his ships. (v. 1- 2) The farmer sowing his seed. (v. 3-4) REMEMBER: Life has a certain amount of risk to it, and thats where faith comes in.
CHALLENGE: Enjoy it! In order to do this we must obey these instructions: A.) Rejoice (v. 11:7 -9 ) B.) Remove (v. 10) The word translated sorrow means vexation, inner pain, anxiety. C.) Remember (v. 12:1-8) It means pay attention to, consider with the intention of obeying
Keepers of the House Your arms and hands tremble. Strong men Your legs, knees, and shoulders weaken and you walk bent over. Grinders You start to lose your teeth. Windows Your visions begins to deteriorate. Doors Either your hearing starts to fail, or you loose your mouth because youve lost your teeth.
Rise up We wake up with the birds early each morning, and wish you could sleep longer. Music Your voice starts to quiver and weaken. Afraid You are terrified of heights and afraid of falling while you walk down the street.
Almond tree If you have any hair left, it turns white, like almond blossoms Long home You go to your eternal (long) home and people mourn your death. Enjoy Life not Enjoy Sin!
CHALLENGE: Fear God! We dont own our lives, because life is the gift of God (Acts 17:24-25) Some people are only spending their lives. Others are wasting their lives. Few are investing their lives.
The measure of life is not its duration but its donation. If our lives are to count, we must fulfill three obligations: A.) Fear God (v. 13) B.) Keep his commandments (v. 13) C.) Prepare for final judgment (v. 14)
When you look at life under the sun everything does seem vain; But when you know Jesus Christ as your saviour, your labor is not in vain in the Lord. Invest your life to God!
