What's the Point? (A Study in Ecclesiastes: Part 1)Exemple

Grab your coffee, tea, or lemonade and settle into the first two chapters of Q’s journey toward a meaningful life. Observe how often the word “vanity” (or “meaningless,” depending on your translation) is used. Make note of the uses of the phrase “under the sun.” Consider how often Q’s thoughts resonate with your own or something a colleague has said. Ask Yourself : How do Q’s words reflect the angst and the weariness of the people I know and love? Pause to Pray : Thank God for inspiring the author of Ecclesiastes and including this raw book full of hard questions in the Bible. Share your hard questions with God!
