Having just seen the excellence and precision of the book of Proverbs, reading the book of Ecclesiastes can be very confusing especially when you realise it was writing by the same person howbeit at different times of his life. Ecclesiastes shows us someone who wanted to taste the full range of wisdom and foolishness, pleasure and suffering, and then decide for himself what life meant. In Ecclesiastes, Solomon's statements will connect with most of us as he describes our many misplaced struggles in wanting to find pleasure and satisfaction everywhere else but in God. If you are looking for meaning in life, the word of God through Solomon in Ecclesiastes will give you direction, only God can ultimately satisfy that emptiness you feel deep inside.
