Ecclesiastes: A Closing Counsel For All

Today, we wrap up our study in Ecclesiastes.  We have learned that happiness cannot be found apart from God, man cannot be man apart from God, God is sovereign over all things, yet bad things happen thus there is oppression and wicked rulers.  We must trust God, for you can trust Him and there is no life without Him.  We are to enjoy life right now, choose wisely, be bold, even though life can be painful, but forge ahead and serve God with your whole life.  As Solomon, concludes his letter his closing counsel is for the young and old to both fear God and obey His commands, as we live our lives near God's Word.
