In Ecclesiastes, we travel along with Solomon’s journey to satisfaction and purpose. As we’ve established, he tried it all! And he found that even the best this world has to offer was futile. He came to a conclusion: possess a reverential awe for the Maker of humanity and do what He commands. If we truly love and respect God, then we’ll naturally want to please Him. We please Him with our obedience. And the thing is, when we walk in obedience, we discover a life of joy, one that isn’t riddled with regret or laden with unpleasant consequences. God created us. He knows what is best for us. We can trust Him to guide and direct us. We find our purpose in our dependence on Him.
