Occupied with the Gladness of Our Hearts

Ecclesiastes 5:18-20 Life can be hard at times; there are questions we can't answer, problems that we can't solve, and sometimes it's difficult for us to see God's plan and purpose for our life. And all around us those in the world without Christ are looking for answers too, and often finding only emptiness and frustration. Solomon, the author of the Book of Ecclesiastes – or the "teacher" as he called himself – faces these deep problems and questions of life head-on. He doesn't sugar-coat them, nor does he hide his own failings; he goes to the depths of despair and comes back. But through the dark clouds of this book, God does break through with some light, and Solomon gives us some of that God-given wisdom here.
