Ecclesiastes 7–12

Common Theme
Life under the sun is fleeting and full of paradoxes, but fearing God and keeping His commandments is the only true foundation for wisdom and meaning. The Teacher concludes that while much in life is uncertain and beyond control, God remains the ultimate judge and source of purpose.

Questions

• What does it look like to fear God when life feels futile or unclear?
• How do you reconcile the call to rejoice in life with the reality of death’s certainty?

God Shot
God is the righteous Judge who sees every deed and will bring all things into judgment, both good and evil. He desires reverence and obedience, not because life is simple or fair, but because He alone gives life meaning beyond the vanities of the world.
