In a world surrounded by injustice, oppression and envy, where can we look to for hope? Our passage this week helps us see that God is the perfect judge, the perfect comforter to the brokenhearted and makes it to where our work can be enjoyed.

Life is full of seasons. We spend so much of our lives longing for a new season or wishing we could return to an old season that we never actually enjoy the current season the Lord has given as a gift. Ecclesiastes 3 helps us see how a view of the sovereignty of God and a present desire to serve him cures that longing.

“The Preacher searches for what will satisfy, only to find vanity at every turn—until 2:24-26, where he discovers that life is best enjoyed as God’s gift, not as a means to gain.”

Is life meaningless? The Preacher "Qohelet" considers the vanity and the lack of gain under the sun in the the opening prologue of the book of Ecclesiastes.
