Ecclesiastes by david pawson

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.
