Love God Greatly: EcclesiastesSample

SOAP – Ecclesiastes 4:13; Solomon observes that it is better to be poor, young, and wise than to be old, foolish and rich, because the poor young man can grow to become a wealthy king. Yet even a wealthy popular king at some point will have followers that do not respect, applaud, or remember him. Regardless of what we acquire or our popularity, they are short-lived. Popularity fades and eventually the poor young man becomes an old rich man. Believers should not seek to be known for ourselves, but we should glorify God with the opportunities He has given us.
