Ecclesiastes 8-12 | 1 Kings 11:41-43 | 2 Chronicles 9:29-31

Solomon laments that the injustices that are experienced in life, and rightly observes that even the most righteous of men will sin against God. In all his wisdom Solomon recognized and complained about the seemingly hopeless condition of men, but never realized (unlike his father David) that God had a plan to rescue all of creation from its fallen state. The final words of Solomon should ring loudly for everyone to remember, as everyone will stand before God’s judgement seat when this life is over…

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man’s all. For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil.
- Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 NKJV
