Ecclesiastes 3:9-14 What do workers gain from their toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him.
The emotional and spiritual exercise of Ecclesiastes is almost exhausting, as The Preacher takes us through life looking for meaning. Yet overall, despite some real skepticism at times, Life is a Good Thing! God has a big picture and plan in mind, and He has placed within us a desire to be a part of that plan. He put within us the desire to work and create just as He created. He planned for us to be able to sit back after our labors and enjoy life. And He has done it all so we can stand back and be in awe of Him and have fellowship with Him. He wants us to be a part of His plan. Do we want to be?
