He writes from his deathbed. You could say Solomon has been teaching us how to live with one foot in the grave. Solomon acknowledges we do not know how many years we have in this life. But he urges us to rejoice in all of them. And as he does so, he doesn’t do so in a bucket-list fashion. Interestingly, he draws our attention to the dying man, and he only shows us the simple things this old man is no longer able to enjoy. by doing so, we are urged to enjoy the sweet life God has given us while we can. After all, God will bring us into judgment for how we used this gift of life we have from him. He will not only judge how we enjoyed it… but whether we enjoyed it and rejoiced in it, in the fear of him. As Solomon draws his message to a close, we come to find: Fearing God and enjoying life with God are nearly synonymous. So, the end of the matter really is this: Fear God and keep his commandments. For this is the whole essence of who man is.

But here Solomon urges us to face death up close and personal. Why? Because when we think rightly about death, we will learn to live more joyfully in this life. When we go to a funeral, when a loved one dies, when we have a near death experience, we're forced to recalculate what really matters in this life. Solomon wants us to learn how to 'look forward' to death. Not in the sense of longing for it, but in the sense of gaining the perspective death teaches.

At this point in Ecclesiastes, Solomon turns his eyes upward toward God, more so than he has already. He directly commands his readers to be careful with how they approach God in worship. This exhortation falls naturally into the sequences of topics Solomon has addressed. He observed the fallen nature of man all around him; he saw corruption and oppression; he saw man's inability to be made happy by the goods of the world; he saw the reality of death and the many ways it comes about; and he saw man's complete inability to prevent or explain any of these things under the sun. At this point we might expect someone to turn the gaze of their heart 'upward.' "Who can we go to for all of this?" That's what Solomon does. As Solomon looks back on his life, he recalls how many have approached God, including himself. Via negative examples, Solomon teaches what a right approach to worship looks like. He does this by describing what foolish worship looks like. From this we can deduce, then, how one ought to wisely approach God in worship. Consider how you approach your worship.

In this passage, Solomon is teaching on yet another three vexations that commonly weigh down man’s ability to enjoy the gifts of life his Creator has given him: The vanity of envy in work, the vanity of loneliness, and the vanity of politics. The interesting thing about these is: these three vexations are self-inflicted. But what this means is, they have remedies. If they’re self-inflicted, then man can actually do something (even under the sun) to temporarily relieve these common vexations. This has not been the case for the other ‘vexations’ and ‘vanities’ Solomon has recounted up to this point.

So, what can the workaholic learn from Solomon? The sluggard? The antisocial or lonely one? What about those who put their hope in politics and rulers? And how are the vexations of envy, loneliness, and politics connected? In Ecclesiastes 4:4-16, Solomon gives profoundly simple insight for answering these questions. It has to do with the golden balance he mentions: Having a handful of quietness, rather than two hands full of striving after the wind.

Five insights into making God’s sovereignty the foundation of persistent joy.

You can usually bet that when the season changes, the weather changes accordingly. Certain weather is appropriate and fitting for certain seasons. In Ecclesiastes 3:1-15, Solomon recognizes something similar about life. There is a season for every event of life each of us experiences. In other words, everything that happens in our lives is appropriate, fitting, and right for the season it arrives with. The difference: We can’t usually predict these events, and we don’t always know the reason for the season. This can be perplexing. Undeniably, each season has the potential both for joy and pain; for hardship and gladness; for gain and loss; for laughter and mourning; for healing and breaking – and everything in between! When Solomon reflects on this perplexing reality, he returns to a familiar refrain: “This is God’s gift to man.” Surprised? Why is this a gift? Such a perplexity is designed to turn our heads away from the passing events of our lives, up to the God of whom Solomon says, whatever he does “endures forever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it. God has done it, so that people fear before him” (v. 14).
