Wisdom for the Ages // Eccl. 2
May 12, 2025
In Ecclesiastes Chapter 2, Solomon explores the pursuits of pleasure, achievement and possessions, ultimately finding them all meaningless apart from God. While God wants us to enjoy life, these pursuits become empty when they are self-centered or disconnected from Him. Solomon concludes that true fulfillment—wisdom, joy and purpose—comes only from God. The Westminster Shorter Catechism affirms that “Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy Him forever.” Let’s determine to invest the rest of our lives in the pursuit of what really matters - a relationship with God through His Son, Jesus.
