Review
-
Solomon was looking for meaning and purpose of life independent of God and he had the resources and means to seek whatever his hearts desire.
Solomon also had the wisest mind to seek all this.
What would he conclude after seeking this?
What would he conclude after seeking this?
~All is vanity!
If I can only have ____ my life would be fulfilled - this is all a lie!
If we are not able to process our knowledge through God our hearts will only fill up with grief and sorrow.
Wisdom outside of God will only bring sorrow.
Starting in the study -
8x’s in this book Solomon uses the word pleasure.
2 sources pleasure he used was laughter and alcohol.
and 10
At the end of his seeking pleasure he realized that it all lead to him knowing it was all meaningless
Vs. 3 - Solomon searched with his heart
We live in a pleasure driven world apart from God. - Nothing wrong having fun but it is when pleasure is what you are seeking.
Pleasure seeking is self seeking!
The pleasure seeker puts his things in his life above the people in his life.
People are more important than things and pleasure.
Pleasure only has a shelve life so pleasure seeker are never content
Sad result is desire without satisfaction!
Solomon was trying to find something that was not to be found because it was just not there - pleasure without our Creator!
True fulfillment is only found in His purpose for my life!
In each of Solomons projects he was seeking fulfillment and they were all disappointed him.
Ecc
S
Solomon overseen the temple building and it was not fulfilling (1 Kings 5)
“All was vanity”
If he thought it would bring him pleasure he bought it or built it!
Solomon had more wealth, power, influence and wisdom that any of us could even imagine and he was not ever satisfied.
There can be joy in projects if it is submitted to the LORD.
The journey can bring you joy.
“Success can bring you enjoyment until you get it”
Are we free from pursuing the next thing?
Think of the freedom of time, people, and finances there would be if man put the all that into the kingdom instead of pleasures
Story of the woman at the well ()
The joy that we can take out of material things is when we see them as gifts of God and we hold on lightly to them and use them to bless others.
We only enjoy the blessings of God with Him not without him.
& 5 “The Writing on the Wall”
Success brings loneliness
Ecc.
2:12-23
Vs. 12 - 17 - He looks at everything differently - in the context of death
Wisdom is greater than folly
Life seemed futile and meaningless at this point of life
No Spiritually healthy mature christian will hate life.
Vs.19 -20 - We cannot protect our material things past death
6 conclusions in this book.
1st of these conclusions (Thank God for what you do have and enjoy it to glory of God)
***The Idolatry of money*** We are living in a world that supports this.
What am I or who am I pursing?
