DAY TWELVE – Tuesday, March 2, 2021
Ecclesiastes 8:14-15 ~ King Solomon searches for the meaning of life.
There is a vanity that takes place on earth, that there are righteous people who are treated according to the conduct of the wicked, and there are wicked people who are treated according to the conduct of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity. So I commend enjoyment, for there is nothing better for people under the sun than to eat, and drink, and enjoy themselves, for this will go with them in their toil through the days of life that God gives them under the sun.
Verse 14 “Strange things happening here upon the earth.”
God in his wisdom gave all human beings a brain. We all have some ability to think, to reason, to make decisions; a heavy responsibility for everyone and, of course, we can all make mistakes, eg. Strange happenings. Our poor decisions of words or actions may harm others, ourselves, even the environment.
Verse 15 “A man should eat drink and be merry”
Yes, the human body does require “food and drink” to survive and for good health. We need to choose carefully what and how much we put into our bodies.
Invite God to share in the decision making. Good health and good decisions in life go a long way towards happiness.
