Ecclesiastes 1:1-3. The Futility of Life Declared.

The words of the Teacher,son of David, king in Jerusalem:
“Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher. 
“Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.”
What do people gain from all their labours at which they toil under the sun?

Life is meaningless, “under the sun” (v2). The Bible makes it clear that most of us will still attempt to prove that life “under the sun” is not meaningless! We need to pray for one another that we will have wisdom enough to look “over the sun”!

When we look “over the sun”, we will discover…

• That God opens his hands and satisfies the desires of every living thing! Psalm 145:16. You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing.
• That God fills us with joy and eternal pleasures! Psalm 16:11. You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

When we look “over the sun” we discover with God in the picture, life is full of meaning!

 “Meaningful! Meaningful!”… “Infinitely meaningful!  
Everything is meaningful”, with God in the picture!!
