In this study through Ecclesiastes 8–10, Pastor Kevin unpacks one of life’s most difficult questions: Why do good people suffer while the wicked seem to prosper? Through Solomon’s reflections, we’re reminded that what we see is only a small piece of a much bigger picture that God is putting together.
Three Main Takeaways
1. You’re Only Seeing Part of the Puzzle
Life’s events—good or bad—are just small pieces of a much bigger picture. We can’t accurately judge God’s plan, our lives, or others based on isolated moments. Trust requires recognizing that God sees what we cannot.
2. God’s Justice May Be Delayed, But It Is Certain
Just because wrongdoing isn’t punished immediately doesn’t mean it goes unnoticed. A final day of judgment is coming, and God will ultimately make all things right.
3. Live Wisely and Enjoy the Life God Gave You
Instead of being overwhelmed by life’s unfairness, we’re called to walk in wisdom, trust God, and enjoy everyday blessings—family, rest, and simple joys—while staying faithful to Him.
