What's the Point? (A Study in Ecclesiastes: Part 3)Sýnishorn
DIG IN!
Read or listen to today’s chapters twice; first, in the translation you typically use and then a second time in another translation. (The Amplified Bible may offer some interesting insights!) Reflect back on the book and think about how all the chapters before helped the writer arrive at his concise conclusion.
Ask Yourself: How has this book transformed your perspective on the activities of life and the passing of time? Is there anything you are feeling prompted to change in your daily life as a result?
Pause to Pray: Thank God for His creativity and persistence in pursuing His people. Ask Him for continued guidance and the willingness to follow each day.
Take the Next Step: Spend some time with someone older than you and talk about how getting older has changed his/her perspective on life. If they have not yet met Jesus, look for an opportunity to share His good news with them.

God created us to find meaning in our lives. But we live in a broken world where we’re continually frustrated in our search. So, what’s the point of living life? This is the question the Teacher in Ecclesiastes is asking. At first, the message of this wisdom book seems to lead to despair, but in fact points to the hope of life found in God alone.
