We all live our days out under the sun. God has made a world in which there are repetitive, ordinary things to do. There are two ways to see this repetition – one is to see it as empty and meaningless. In this view there is nothing more than what exists under the sun. There is no meaning beyond what is in front of you. This is the way of nihilism and despair. Solomon flirted with this darkness when his heart was led astray. Thanks be to God, however, that His mercy visited Solomon and brought him to repentance. The Lord opened Solomon's eyes to see that the ordinary, recurring nature of life is not meant to show us emptiness, but to teach us the rhythm of God's constancy and faithfulness. He is stamping eternity on our hearts by teaching us to enjoy everyday blessings, like manna in the desert. If there is nothing beyond what lies under the sun, then life is indeed futile, empty, and meaningless. There would be nothing but vanity under the sun. This view is absurd, of course. This is God's world, so nothing can be meaningless. All things hold together in Christ. If you are in Christ, then look and see that there is joy under the Son.
