“The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.” - Ecclesiastes 1v1
Solomon found himself in a situation which all can at one time or another identify. He looked around, saw that the sun rises and sets, the winds go about their cycles, the rivers run their courses, there is nothing new under the sun. It is this kind of observance that leads men to say – “What’s it all about?”
I recently read a book by Ravi Zacharias entitled The Real Face of Atheism. In this excellent text Dr Zacharias paints a dismal view of a life without God. He points out the emptiness that results when God is pulled from the picture. When He is gone there is a void which cannot be filled.
Without God all is emptiness, vanity, and a waste. There is no purpose to life on earth unless there is God. Solomon saw this. Fortunately, at the end, he found the purpose.
All around us there are people who are stuck in their empty, aimless, hopeless lives. Let us be living so that we show them the real purpose of life.
