Solomon's tunnel vision:wrote in his old age
only see things under the sun
only focus on this life
===>need God's perspective
our life is on God's hand=> God decrees (chapter 3 time for everything)
in God's willing........
in all Ecclesiastes, we can only find 2 chapters with optimistic views, in which God is involved. chapter 3 and chapter 11:7-12
fear of God: we hold account for our lives; how we use our resource; every single word we say is recorded(in chapter 5)
the meaning of Ecclesiastes in the bible: meaning of life from heaven's angle
Solomon's conclusion:remember God; fear God and obey His commandments
Ecclesiastes teaches us not to live a life forgetting God, not fearing Him neither obeying Him.
