Love God Greatly: EcclesiastesSample

SOAP – Ecclesiastes 8:15; Solomon is once again filled with despair when trying to understand why good things happen to wicked people. He decides that the way to deal with this mystery is to focus on the earthly pleasures of eating, drinking and enjoyment. Believers, however, must focus and keep an eternal perspective. God in His amazing grace allows rain to fall upon the just and the unjust. We may never understand God’s reasoning, because His ways are not our ways. Although we may want to simply shut down and satisfy our flesh, it is important that we trust God in our despair, walk in faith, and glorify Him no matter our circumstance.
