Reflection Questions

1. In light of verses 1-8, how does acknowledging that time is in God’s hands, not ours, change the way you approach your daily decisions?

2. Verse 11 says God has “put eternity into man’s heart.” How do you see that longing for eternity show up in your own life?

3. Solomon says there’s “nothing better” than to be joyful and do good (vs 12-13, 22). What does joyful obedience look like in your current season? What ordinary routines in your life might be more spiritually significant than you’ve realized?

4. How does knowing that God is sovereign over time (vs 14-17) lead you to fear Him rightly?

5. How does this passage point you to Jesus as the only source of lasting meaning, hope, and eternal life?
