IN CONCLUSION...
I have to say, the book of Ecclesiastes wasn't my favorite. I tend to look on the bright side of things, and this book focused on the grey, cloud covered side. That's okay, because everyone has their own ways of thinking, and we already discussed that this book was written BEFORE Jesus, and there might not have been as much hope and forgiveness.
But what I DID like about this book was the conclusion at the end of chapter 12. It was pretty intense, but pretty meaningful to me. Hopefully it does something for you, too:
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for that is the whole duty of everyone. For God will bring every deed into judgement, including every secret thing, whether good or evil.
Don't forget there's a God who loves you and sees all that happens to you. Pray to Him, and love Him, and things will be different.
Also, we'll start the book called Songs of Songs tomorrow! Be sure to stop by and read it, it's veryyyyy interesting.
That's about it! Enjoy your Monday and see you tomorrow!
Peace.
