Solomon’s great wisdom, status, and wealth backfired on him because he took his eyes off God. Solomon went into operation boomerang, a frantic search for happiness. Solomon tried to purchase happiness and it didn’t work. It was vanity, emptiness. “Whatever my eyes desired I kept not from them. I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought and on the labor that I had labored to do and behold everything was vanity and striving after wind” (Eccl 2:11). Look at your bank account. Look at your collections. They mean nothing. As Solomon said, “I came into this world naked and naked I shall leave it.” Understanding and following the will of God gives you inner happiness. “Happiness belongs to those who hear my Father’s Word and keep it” (Luke 11:27-28). Having a valid spiritual life by means of occupation with Jesus Christ as a young person will prepare you for the challenges you will face like an old person. Solomon finally got it, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter, fear [respect] God and keep His Mandates” (Eccl 12:13). Keep your eyes on God, not people, circumstances, or things.
