Good morning, everyone!
Today I read Ecclesiastes 9-12, and I have to confess I didn't get a lot out of today's reading. Perhaps one day I'll have more to share about it, but for today I just want to share one thing.
First of all, a brief recap: the author of this book (probably Solomon) spends time in these chapters reminding us that life is fleeting and that we should enjoy it, but that we should be careful to make sure our actions please God. It is not wrong to have fun, but we must keep His commandments in mind. In the end, the wicked and the righteous both die, mortal lives expended.
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 - The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil.
I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I begin reading Song of Solomon.
